Periacetabular osteotomy for the treatment of dysplastic hip with Perthes-like deformities

摘要

We retrospectively evaluated 17 hips in 16 patients who underwent a periacetabular osteotomy for the treatment of dysplastic hip with Perthes-like deformities. These residual deformities were graded using the Stulberg classification system. There were three class II hips, 11 class III hips and three class IV hips preoperatively. The average age of the patients at surgery was 36.9 years and the average follow-up was 6.6 years. The average Harris hip score significantly improved from the preoperative value of 68.2 points to 91.1 points postoperatively. The average postoperative range of motion in all directions did not change significantly from the preoperative value. The average postoperative Harris hip score of class IV hips was smaller than that of the class II or class III hips. The standard radiographic evaluations also showed significant improvements postoperatively. Periacetabular osteotomy without combined femoral osteotomies, as a treatment for patients with Perthes-like deformities, produced good clinical and radiographic results.
