Hip Dysplasia in a Patient in Late Adolescence With Charcot-Marie-Tooth and Multiple Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency

Abstract

This case report explores a unique presentation of hip dysplasia in a female patient aged 21 years old diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) type 1A and multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD). The coexistence of these neuromuscular and metabolic disorders in a patient with hip dysplasia provides an opportunity to investigate their potential interactions and impact on diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. The patient underwent labral repair with shelf osteotomy and later a total hip replacement. This case highlights the need for further research to better understand the relationships between CMT, MADD, neuromuscular dysplasia, and hip dysplasia. A deeper understanding of these interactions may lead to improved diagnostic techniques, earlier intervention, and personalized treatment approaches for patients with co-morbid conditions, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing complications later in life.
