In chronic cases with joint destruction, total hip arthroplasty is often the preferred reconstructive option. However, reduction can be difficult and may require additional procedures, such as femoral shortening osteotomy.\n\nCase Report: A 41-year-old male presented with right hip pain for 2 years and difficulty in walking for 18 months following a road traffic accident. Imaging showed neglected posterior dislocation of the right hip with superior migration of the proximal femur, near-complete femoral head resorption, and pseudoarthrosis. The patient underwent 3 weeks of pre-operative skin traction followed by total hip arthroplasty through a posterior approach using a Ganz-type greater trochanteric osteotomy and abductor pie-crusting without subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy. At the 6-month follow-up, the patient was pain-free, walking full weight-bearing, with no limb length discrepancy, no neurological deficit, and radiological union of the trochanteric osteotomy site.\n\nConclusion: In selected cases of neglected posterior hip dislocation, pre-operative traction, soft-tissue balancing, and Ganz-type trochanteric osteotomy may allow reduction without subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy. This approach may reduce the risk of nerve stretch injury, preserve femoral bone stock, and allow use of a primary femoral implant.\n\nKeywords: Neglected hip dislocation, total hip arthroplasty, ganz osteotomy, subtrochanteric osteotomy, traction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i08.7770","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,7]],"date-time":"2026-08-07T11:25:01Z","timestamp":1786101901000},"page":"17-21","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.13107\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Total Hip Arthroplasty without Subtrochanteric Shortening Osteotomy in a Neglected Posterior Hip Dislocation: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.13107","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Siddhant Pundalik","family":"Pol","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, LTMMC and Sion Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sudhir","family":"Sharan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, LTMMC and Sion Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pankaj Pundlik","family":"Pawar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, LTMMC and Sion Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashwin","family":"Joshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, LTMMC and Sion Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abhijit Gurudas","family":"Gedam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, LTMMC and Sion Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashish Ramesh","family":"Mal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, LTMMC and Sion Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"5271","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"container-title":["Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,13]],"date-time":"2026-09-13T08:45:29Z","timestamp":1789289129000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/jocr.co.in\/wp\/2026\/08\/total-hip-arthroplasty-without-subtrochanteric-shortening-osteotomy-in-a-neglected-posterior-hip-dislocation-a-case-report\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i08.7770","relation":{},"ISSN":["2321-3817"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2321-3817","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"assertion":[{"value":"Research Article","name":"content_type","label":"Content Type"},{"value":"Yes","name":"crosschecked","label":"CrossChecked"},{"value":"Yes","name":"peer_reviewed","label":"Peer Reviewed"},{"value":"10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i08.7770","name":"published","label":"Published"},{"value":"Creative Commons Attribution","name":"license","label":"License","explanation":{"URL":"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0"},"group":{"name":"rights","label":"Rights"}}]}}
