The aim of this study was to compare patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), radiological measurements, and total hip arthroplasty (THA)-free survival in patients who underwent periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for mild, moderate, or severe developmental dysplasia of the hip. We performed a retrospective study involving 336 patients (420 hips) who underwent PAO by a single surgeon at an academic centre. After exclusions, 124 patients (149 hips) were included. The preoperative lateral centre-edge angle (LCEA) was used to classify the severity of dysplasia: 18° to 25° was considered mild (n = 20), 10° to 17° moderate (n = 66), and < 10° severe (n = 63). There was no difference in patient characteristics between the groups (all, p > 0.05). Pre- and postoperative radiological measurements were made. The National Institute of Health’s Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) outcome measures (physical function computerized adaptive test (PF CAT), Global Physical and Mental Health Scores) were collected. Failure was defined as conversion to THA or PF CAT scores < 40, and was assessed with Kaplan–Meier analysis. The mean follow-up was five years (2 to 10) ending in either failure or the latest contact with the patient.Aims
Patients and Methods
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been highlighted and well
documented primarily in Western countries and there are few large
studies focused on FAI-related morphological assessment in Asian
patients. We chose to investigate this subject. We assessed the morphology of the hip and the prevalence of radiographic
FAI in Japanese patients by measuring predictors of FAI. We reviewed
a total of 1178 hips in 695 men and 483 women with a mean age of
58.2 years (20 to 89) using CT images that had been obtained for
reasons unrelated to symptoms from the hip. We measured the lateral
centre edge angle, acetabular index, crossover sign, alpha angle
and anterior femoral head-neck offset ratio.Aims
