The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical
and radiographic outcomes of the Birmingham Interlocking Pelvic
Osteotomy (BIPO). In this prospective study, we report the mid- to long-term clinical
outcomes of the first 100 consecutive patients (116 hips; 88 in
women, 28 in men) undergoing BIPO, reflecting the surgeon’s learning
curve. Failure was defined as conversion to hip arthroplasty. The
mean age at operation was 31 years (7 to 57). Three patients (three
hips) were lost to follow-up.Aims
Patients and Methods
The treatment of hip dysplasia should be customised
for patients individually based on radiographic findings, patient
age, and the patient’s overall articular cartilage status. In many
patients, restoration of hip anatomy as close to normal as possible
with a PAO is the treatment of choice. Cite this article:
