Case: Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome (KTS) carries manifestations including skeletal dysplasia and prominent vascular malformations. This report details a case of hip dysplasia in the setting of KTS treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) requiring preoperative embolization, intraoperative angiography for placement of an iliac artery occlusive balloon, and modular hip arthroplasty components for femoral and acetabular dysplasia. Perioperatively, the patient rehabilitated well and was walking painlessly and unassisted at 3 and 12 months postoperatively. Conclusion: Successful THA for dysplasia and degenerative changes associated with KTS is possible but requires a complex multidisciplinary perioperative approach.
