A special socket was designed by holography for total hip replacement for the treatment of the dysplastic acetabulum and correction of the deformation pattern. Excellent clinical results of 12 cases demonstrate that the special socket design provides good stability as well as favorable redistribution of mechanical forces about the hip joint.
