  Background Patients with developmental dysplasia of hip often undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA) at a younger age. THA in such patients are technically demanding because of deficient acetabular bone stock, abnormal femoral anatomy with increased anteversion, leg length discrepancy and soft tissue imbalance. Conical femoral stem with Metal on Metal (MoM) 28 mm bearing have been used to address the anatomical and wear issues in this young patient group. The aim of the study was to review the early midterm clinical results of this prosthesis. Material & Methods Between January 2004 and March 2009 twenty-one consecutive patients (24 hips) with osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip underwent metal-on-metal uncemented Allofit Metasul press-fit cups (Zimmer) with 28 mm-heads and tapered uncemented Wagner..
