Total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of a hip disorder complicated by autosomal dominant osteopetrosis: a case report

Abstract

Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (ADOP) is an extremely rare congenital bone disease. We report a case of a hip disorder in combination with ADOP, which was treated by total hip arthroplasty, resulting in a good recovery and a significant improvement in the patient’s ability to perform daily activities.
