ABSTRACT
In the management of true hip dysplasia, the bony deformity is nearly always accompanied by, and often causal of, intra-articular pathology. It is strongly recommended to conduct a comprehensive preoperative evaluation as well as arthroscopic evaluation and treatment of coexisting hip joint conditions prior to performing an open Bernese periacetabular osteotomy. The osteotomy improves coverage of the femoral head and corrects the abnormal joint mechanics and loading patterns, which result in cartilage damage and subsequent osteoarthritis. Arthroscopy allows treatment of the intra-articular pathology. Combining the hip arthroscopy and periacetabular osteotomy procedures into a single surgical intervention, performed by either a single surgeon or a collaborative surgical team, allows us to address both the cause and the effects of dysplasia. This once-controversial combined technique has become a standard practice in the field with widespread adoption.
