Abstract
Life expectancy in Hurler syndrome is significantly improved by enzyme therapy with bone marrow transplantation. However, the deterioration of skeletal abnormalities persists. Hip dysplasia is a common presentation which may progress to significant hip arthritis requiring total hip arthroplasty at later stage. We report a long-term outcome of cementless total hip arthroplasty in a patient with Hurler syndrome who was successfully treated with bone marrow transplant.
