What is coxa profunda deformity?
Coxa profunda refers to a deep acetabular socket. Acetabular protrusion is intrapelvic displacement of the acetabulum and femoral head, so that the femoral head projects medial to the ischioilial line.
How do you fix coxa profunda?
We recommend that the majority of cases be treated with surgical hip dislocation. Trimming of the entire acetabular rim during open surgical dislocation will reduce the depth of the acetabulum, and, when appropriate, labral refixation and, if absent, labral reconstruction using a graft can be performed.
