Surgical Treatment of Adolescent Acetabular Dysplasia With a Periacetabular Osteotomy: Does Obesity Increase the Risk of Complications?

摘要

Background: The Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is frequently used to treat symptomatic acetabular dysplasia in the adolescent age group. Despite encouraging results, factors predictive of the development of postoperative complications remain poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether obesity is a risk factor for complications following PAO in adolescents.
