Abstract
- Background: Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) is a well-established surgical intervention for the treatment of hip dysplasia. Purpose: Our primary objective was to assess whether a group of young flexibility athletes who underwent PAO for hip dysplasia recovered their pre-operative hip range of motion (ROM) within 1 year of surgery. Our secondary objective was to compare hip ROM recovery between a group of young flexibility athletes and a group of non-flexibility athletes who underwent PAO for hip dysplasia. Results: In our study, 100% of flexibility athletes regained preoperative hip external rotation at 1-year post-operation. This was also the first plane of motion to return to preoperative motion in flexibility athletes. A significantly higher percentage of non-flexibility athletes regained their preoperative hip internal rotation compared to flexibility athletes (100% compared to 54%; P = .02), but not flexion or external rotation at 1-year post-operation. Conclusion: Our findings may help providers to set expectations regarding the recovery of hip ROM in flexibility athletes who undergo PAO for hip dysplasia. Level of Evidence: Level IV [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
