“…Following PAO, we found a total risk of reoperations other than THA of 48%. Removal of osteosynthesis material was most frequent (44%) accounting for 92% of cases, which is higher than reported earlier (6,20). Conversely, we found that the frequency of subsequent hip arthroscopy was 0.4%, which is less than the 11% reported by Larsen et al (6).…”

Background and purpose: Previous studies on hip survival following periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) have reported isolated data for the treatment of 1 underlying condition, making comparison between patient groups difficult. We report the hip survival after PAO in patients with acetabular dysplasia (AD), acetabular retroversion (AR), congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH), and Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) with total hip arthroplasty (THA) as primary endpoint and secondarily the risk of subsequent hip-related operations other than THA.Patients and methods: From 1997 to December 2021, 1,501 hips (1,203 patients) underwent PAO in a single center (Odense University Hospital). We identified conversions to THA and other subsequent hip-related operations through patient files and the Danish National Patient Registry (DNPR).Results: 123 (8.2%) of the total cohort of 1,501 hips were converted to THA within the study period. The overall Kaplan–Meier hip survival rate was 71% (95% confidence interval [CI] 61–79) at 24 years with a mean follow-up of 7.6 years (range 0.02–25). The individual Kaplan–Meier hip survival rates at 15 years were 81% (CI 76–86) for AD, 94% (CI 91–96) for AR, 84% (CI 66–93) for CDH, and 66% (CI 49–79) for LCPD. In total, the overall risk of additional hip-related operations was 48% (of which 92% were screw removal).Conclusion: Encouragingly, 71% of hips were preserved 24 years after PAO. We found that AR patients had the highest (94%) PAO survivorship at 15 years compared with the other underlying hip conditions. Almost half of PAO patients may undergo later additional surgery, of which screw removal is the primary intervention. Overall long-term survival, risk factors for conversion to THA, and risk of additional surgery are relevant information for shared decision-making.

“…The reverse PAO we describe here includes our technique modifications and differs from the previously described anteverting PAO to treat acetabular retroversion [14,15]. Although PAO to correct acetabular retroversion was originally described as an "anteverting PAO," it has also been described as a "reverse PAO," creating some confusion [1,3,11,16]. The anteverting PAO, as originally described, purely anteverts the retroverted acetabulum, without effort to change the lateral or anterior femoral head coverage [10].…”

Background Acetabular overcoverage is associated with pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). A subtype of acetabular overcoverage is caused by a deep acetabulum with a negatively tilted acetabular roof, in which acetabular reorientation may be a preferable alternative to rim trimming to uncover the femoral head. We introduced the true reverse periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) in 2003, which in contrast to an anteverting PAO, also flexes and abducts the acetabulum relative to the intact ilium to decrease anterior and lateral femoral head coverage and correct negative tilt of the acetabular roof. To our knowledge, the clinical results of the true reverse PAO have not been evaluated. Questions/purposes For a group of patients who underwent reverse PAO, (1) Do patients undergoing reverse PAO demonstrate short-term improvement in pain, function, and hip ROM, and decreased acetabular coverage, as defined by lateral and anterior center-edge angle and Tönnis angle? (2) Are there identifiable factors associated with success or adverse outcomes of reverse PAO as defined by reoperation, conversion to THA, or poor patient-reported outcome scores? (3) Are there identifiable factors associated with early complications? Methods Between 2003 and 2017, two surgeons carried out 49 reverse PAOs in 37 patients. Twenty-five patients had unilateral reverse PAO and 12 patients had staged, bilateral reverse PAOs. To ensure that each hip was an independent data point for statistical analysis, we chose to include in our series only the first hip in the patients who had bilateral reverse PAOs. During the study period, our general indications for this operation were symptomatic lateral and anterior acetabular overcoverage causing FAI that had failed to respond to previous conservative or surgical treatment. Thirty-seven hips in 37 patients with a median (range) age of 18 years (12 to 41; interquartile range 16 to 21) were included in this retrospective study at a minimum follow-up of 2 years (median 6 years; range 2 to 17). Thirty-four patients completed questionnaires, 24 patients had radiographic evaluation, and 23 patients received hip ROM clinical examination. However, seven patients had not been seen in more than 5 years. The clinical and radiographic parameters of all 37 hips that underwent reverse PAO in 37 patients from a longitudinally maintained institutional database were retrospectively studied preoperatively and postoperatively. Adverse outcomes were considered conversion to THA or a WOMAC pain score greater than 10 at least 2 years postoperatively. Patient-reported outcomes, radiographic measurements, and hip ROM were evaluated preoperatively and at most recent follow-up using a paired t-test or McNemar test, as appropriate. Linear regression analysis was used to assess for identifiable factors associated with clinical outcomes. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess for identifiable factors associated with adverse outcomes and surgical complications. All tests were two-sided, and p values less than 0.05 were considered significant. Results At a minimum of 2 years after reverse PAO, patients experienced improvement in WOMAC pain (-7 [95% CI -9 to -5]; p < 0.001), stiffness (-2 [95% CI -3 to -1]; p < 0.001), and function scores (-18 [95% CI -24 to -12]; p < 0.001) and modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) (20 [95% CI 13 to 27]; p < 0.001). The mean postoperative hip ROM improved in internal rotation (8° [95% CI 2° to 14°]; p = 0.007). Acetabular coverage, as defined by lateral center-edge angle (LCEA), anterior center-edge angle (ACEA), and Tönnis angle, improved by -8° (95% CI -12° to -5°; p < 0.001) for LCEA, -12° (95% CI -15° to -9°; p < 0.001) for ACEA, and 9° (95% CI 6° to 13°; p < 0.001) for Tönnis angle. The postoperative severity of radiographic arthritis was associated with worse WOMAC function scores such that for each postoperative Tönnis grade, WOMAC function score increased by 12 points (95% CI 2 to 22; p = 0.03). A greater postoperative Tönnis grade was also correlated with worse mHHS, with an average decrease of 12 points (95% CI -20 to -4; p = 0.008) in mHHS for each additional Tönnis grade. Presence of a positive postoperative anterior impingement test was associated with a decrease in mHHS score at follow-up, with an average 23-point decrease in mHHS (95% CI -34 to -12; p = 0.001). Nineteen percent (7 of 37) of hips had surgery-related complications. Four hips experienced adverse outcomes at final follow-up, with two patients undergoing subsequent THA and two with a WOMAC pain score greater than 10. We found no factors associated with complications or adverse outcomes. Conclusion The early clinical and radiographic results of true reverse PAO compare favorably to other surgical treatments for pincer FAI, suggesting that reverse PAO is a promising treatment for cases of pincer FAI caused by global acetabular overcoverage. However, it is a technically complex procedure that requires substantial training and preparation by a surgeon who is already familiar with standard PAO, and it must be carefully presented to patients with discussion of the potential risks and benefits. Future studies are needed to further refine the indications and to determine the long-term outcomes of reverse PAO. Level of Evidence Level IV, therapeutic study.

The dysplastic hip is characterized by incomplete coverage of the femoral head, resulting in increased risk of early osteoarthritis. The morphological variation of the hip joint is diverse and clear differences exist between females and males. The aim of this observational study was therefore to investigate the relationship between the morphology of the hip, sex, and hip dysplasia using a three‐dimensional model. Statistical shape models of the combined femur and pelvic bones were created from bilateral hips of 75 patients. Using manual angle measurements and regression analysis, the characteristic shape differences associated with sex and hip dysplasia were determined. The model showed clear differences associated with sex and hip dysplasia. We found that the acetabular anteversion in females was significantly higher (p < 0.0001) than in males while no significant difference in acetabular anteversion was found between normal and dysplastic hips (p = 0.11). The model showed that decreased acetabular anteversion resulted in the appearance of the cross‐over sign and the prominent ischial spine sign commonly associated with retroversion. Sex could be predicted with an area under the curve of 0.99 and hip dysplasia could be predicted with an area under the curve of ≥0.73. Our findings suggest that retroversion is a result of decreased anteversion of the acetabulum and is primarily associated with sex. This finding should be taken into account during the reorientation of the acetabulum in the surgical treatment of hip dysplasia.
