    AbstractProgressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia is an autosomal recessively inherited skeletal disease. Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia can involve multiple synovial joints, which then develop structural deformity and articular dysfunction. We report a case of progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia with polyarthropathy in a 17-year-old girl. Total hip arthroplasty was performed to treat persistent pain and stiffness by reconstructing a functional joint. Although we found arthroplasty to be an effective way of reconstructing a functional joint, treatment of the underlying cause is urgently required for this disease in the future.
