Brief summary

We aim to evaluate the importance of arthroscopy prior to the osteotomy procedure. This is to supply the surgeon with additional valuable pre-operative data which will establish a better treatment strategy. We will then evaluate patient outcomes following these two procedures. This kind of osteotomy surgery aims to address an uncommon entity - mild hip dysplasia. Evaluation of this unique operation and its outcomes in this type of patient population will be invaluable in further improving patient care. Key research questions: 1. Does PAO carry good long-term outcomes. 2. Is hip arthroscopy considered as a adjunctive procedure prior to PAO

Interventions

This retrospective study aims to evaluate long term outcome of patients who underwent hip arthroscopy prior to peri-acetabular osteotomy (PAO) surgery. The study involves reviewing patient files and operating notes with a subsequent phone call or a follow up visit (as per normal scheduled patient follow-up post surgery), if possible, to evaluate current patient status. Participants for this study are located/recruited from clinic patient files from the date range 2001 to 2008.
