Cited in Scopus: 0A 53-year-old patient with a history of Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) presented with cutout after a right femoral neck fracture treated with a dynamic hip screw. This was treated with conversion total hip arthroplasty (THA), the second reported THA in a patient with LDS and the first in a post-traumatic reconstruction setting. The patient had 2 episodes of posterior hip dislocations within 2 weeks after the operation requiring a revision THA utilizing dual-mobility bearing to achieve stability. LDS is a connective-tissue disorder that is associated with joint hypermobility and spinal deformities, among other features.
