Excerpt
The current study by Zurmühle and colleagues evaluated the mid-term survivorship of patients with acetabular retroversion who underwent either anteverting periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) or acetabular rim trimming through a surgical hip dislocation. The authors report improved functional scores and less progression in osteoarthritis in the anteverting PAO cohort but no difference in conversion to THA between the two groups. Today, hip arthroscopy would be favored over surgical hip dislocation as the approach for rim trimming and labral repair, thus in this modern era of joint preservation, this study highlights the well-known concept that performing the correct procedure (rather than the least-complex one) usually is in the patient’s best interest. …
