[Hip dysplasia: What influence do age, arthrosis and concomitant diseases have on the treatment result?] / Hüftdysplasie im Grenzbereich: Welchen Einfluss haben Alter, Arthrose und Begleiterkrankungen auf das Behandlungsergebnis?

ABSTRACT

Pelvic osteotomies are an established treatment for symptomatic adult hip dysplasia with a promising long-term outcome. Results depend not only on the achieved acetabular reorientation but also on patient-factors like preoperative joint condition (degree of osteoarthritis and joint congruency) and age. Additionally, the diagnosis and appropriate therapy of impingement-associated hip deformities is essential in order to achieve good mid- and long-term outcomes. The influence of chondrolabral pathology on the outcome of pelvic osteotomies is not yet defined. Symptomatic patients with residual dysplasia after previous pelvic or acetabular osteotomies can benefit from an additional osteotomy, although results can be worse in comparison to prior unoperated joints. Obesity can make surgery more demanding and increases the complication profile of PAO, although it has no influence on the postoperative outcome. Regarding the overall prognosis after an osteotomy, the consideration of combined risk factors is superior to the concentration on individual factors alone.
