Abstract

Acetabular dysplasia is a common cause of persistent hip pain and limited function in young mature patients. Literature has shown that these patients with acetabular dysplasia are an increased risk for early progression to osteoarthritis. Periacetabular osteotomy, with the appropriate indications, can significantly improve both pain and function, as well as help to prevent the development of early osteoarthritis. Throughout this review we will discuss the indications, surgical technique, and outcomes of periacetabular osteotomy for the treatment of acetabular dysplasia in mature patients.
