Figure 2 Representative pretreatment and posttreatment anteroposterior (AP) pelvic radiographs of Crowe type IV hip dysplasiaPanels (A, C) show pretreatment AP radiographs illustrating the typical imaging features of Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH): a high-riding femoral head with complete proximal subluxation/dislocation, a small hypoplastic true acetabulum, and proximal femoral deformity. Panels (B, D) show postoperative AP radiographs after total hip arthroplasty (THA), with the acetabular component placed in the true acetabulum and a cementless femoral stem, demonstrating satisfactory reduction and implant alignment.
