The Hip Dysplasia Solution: Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) Surgery (Medical Animation)

Hip dysplasia is a condition in which the acetabulum does not adequately cover the femoral head, leading to instability and potential joint problems. This misalignment can cause hip pain, restricted motion, and a limp, often progressing to osteoarthritis due to cartilage wear. Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a surgical intervention designed to correct acetabular dysplasia by repositioning the acetabulum for better support and fit of the femoral head, aiming to alleviate pain, improve joint function, and delay or prevent osteoarthritis. The procedure involves cutting the pelvic bone around the acetabulum, reorienting the hip socket, and securing it with screws, preserving the natural hip joint. Recovery includes a hospital stay, gradual weight-bearing with crutches or a walker, and physical therapy. PAO can significantly improve symptoms and function, potentially avoiding the need for a total hip replacement. See more medical animations at https://www.understand.com.
