Patient-Reported Outcomes and Factors Impacting Success of the Periacetabular Osteotomy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hip dysplasia is a condition affecting both infants and adults, characterized by a shallow acetabulum that does not sufficiently cover the head of the femur. This leads to instability of the hip and elevated levels of mechanical stress around the acetabular rim. A popular procedure for the correction of hip dysplasia is the periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), in which fluoroscopically guided osteotomies around the pelvis are made to allow for repositioning of the acetabulum to fit properly on the femoral head. This systematic review aims to analyze patient factors that impact outcomes, as well as patient-reported outcomes such as the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC). The patients in this review did not undergo any prior intervention for acetabular hip dysplasia, allowing for an unbiased reporting of outcomes from all included studies. Of studies reporting HHS, the mean preoperative HHS was 68.92 and the mean postoperative HHS was 89.1. Of the study that reported mHHS, the mean preoperative mHHS was 70, and the mean postoperative mHHS was 91. Of the studies reporting WOMAC, the mean preoperative WOMAC was 66, and the mean postoperative WOMAC was 63. Key findings of this review are that of the seven included studies, six achieved a minimally important clinical difference (MCID) based on patient-reported outcomes, and factors impacting outcome are preoperative Tönnis osteoarthritis (OA) grade, pre and postoperative lateral-center edge angle (LCEA), preoperative hip joint congruency, postoperative Tönnis angle, and age. In patients with no prior intervention for hip dysplasia, the PAO is a successful procedure with significant improvement in postoperative patient-reported outcomes. Despite the reported success of the PAO, proper patient selection is vital to avoid early conversions to total hip arthroplasty (THA) and prolonged pain. However, further investigation is prompted regarding the long-term survivorship of the PAO in patients with no prior intervention for hip dysplasia.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
