Hip arthroscopy after periacetabular osteotomy for acetabular dysplasia – incidence and clinical outcome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is the treatment of choice for acetabular dysplasia and has demonstrated improvement in patient reported outcomes measures (PROMs) as well as acceptable long-term survival. However, acetabular dysplasia is also associated with intra-articular lesions that can negatively impact clinical outcome. This study aimed to analyse the incidence, operative findings, and outcomes of hip arthroscopy after PAO. METHODS: This is a single center retrospective study by querying our hip preservation prospectively collected database from 2006 to 2020. All patients having undergone hip arthroscopy after a PAO, with a minimal follow-up of one year, were identified. 202 PAOs were done with a mean age of 28.3 years (12.7 - 53.6) including 39 males and 167 females. Failure was defined as conversion to hip replacement. Demographics, surgical findings, reoperations, and PROMs (pre and post operatively at the last follow-up point only for hips not converted to hip replacement). RESULTS: Fifteen hips in 15 patients (7.4%) out of 202 PAOs underwent a hip arthroscopy at a mean time of 3.9 years (0.3-10.3) after PAO. There were 2 males, 13 females and the mean age was 29.8 years (18.5-45). 12 hips had no radiological osteoarthritis (Tönnis 0) and 3 hips had early osteoarthritis (Tönnis 1). At time of arthroscopy, all hips had a labral tear, 9 had a chondral damage ≥ Beck 4. Eight hips had labral debridement, 7 had labral repair, 2 had resection of adhesions and 4 underwent a femoral osteochondroplasty. Four hips (27%) were converted to a hip replacement at a mean time of 1.8 years(0.5-3.2) after hip arthroscopy. Patients converted to hip replacement were significantly older (p = 0.01), had a lower post-PAO LCEA (p = 0.01) and a higher post-PAO Tönnis angle (p = 0.02). There were no significant improvements in PROMs. CONCLUSION: This study reports a hip arthroscopy reoperation rate after PAO of 7.4%. All three types of dysplasia (uncovered anteriorly, posteriorly, or globally) were present in this cohort. Twenty seven percent of patients were converted to hip replacement and PROMs were not significantly improved by hip arthroscopy. Therefore, this procedure should be approached with some caution.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
