Mild Hip Dysplasia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Hip dysplasia is a complex problem that exists on a spectrum from mild to severe disease. Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) remains the gold standard for most patients with dysplasia; however, the procedure is quite invasive making the decision to proceed in cases of mild disease difficult. Hip arthroscopy (HA) is an alternative minimally invasive technique that can be used to address mild dysplasia. Nevertheless, HA has less capability for correction and in rare instances can exacerbate instability in the dysplastic hip. There is a paucity of data examining outcomes between these two treatment strategies for this challenging problem.

Detailed Description
The Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) remains the gold standard for treatment of symptomatic developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in most patients with closed triradiate cartilage. First developed by Ganz in 1984, this technique utilizes 4 osteotomies to completely mobilize the acetabular fragment 1. Although a technically demanding procedure, it allows optimal correction in all planes and maintains integrity of the posterior column, enabling early weight bearing and mobilization. Several groups have confirmed the long-term efficacy of this joint preservation procedure with a recent report from the inventing institution documented impressive survivorship up to 30 years after surgery 2. Treatment with PAO is more controversial for mild forms of dysplasia where the lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) is 18° - 25° and/or the Tӧnnis angle is 8° - 15°. In these patients the delta correction is more limited, thus creating a more unpredictable result with equally invasive surgery.

Experimental: Hip Arthroscopy (HA) This approach addresses intraarticular pathology in the form of labral tears and cartilage that are often concomitant with DDH 3. Furthermore, capsular plication can be performed through HA to reduce instability of the joint. |
