  • Title: [Periacetabular osteotomy and hip dysplasia in young adults].
    Author: Troelsen A, Søballe K.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2009 Mar 30; 171(14):1185-9. PubMed ID: 19338738.
    Abstract:
    The periacetabular osteotomy is recognized as the surgical treatment of choice in young adults with symptomatic hip dysplasia. The procedure is performed to delay or prevent the development of osteoarthritis. The procedure has the ability to improve function and preserve hip joints in > 80% of cases for more than ten years following surgery. A new minimally invasive technique is safe and reduces blood loss, transfusion requirements and duration of surgery. Overall, the results support the use of periacetabular osteotomy, though further documentation of long-term effects is warranted.
