Abstract
The key element for differentiation between normal anatomical variants and pathological deformities is the prior definition of normal ranges for anthropometric parameters of acetabulum according to each age group. Aim of the present study is to analyze the development of the acetabulum in children/adolescents by accurate anthropometric measurements using 3D-CT scans and determine the variations occurring depending on age, gender and/or side. This retrospective observational study included 85 patients (170 hips) under 15 years of age (0-15) undergoing 1.5mm CT scanning for non-hip related reasons. The measurements were performed by 2 board-certified orthopaedic surgeons. Each year of life represented an age group forming a total of 16 groups. Median number of patients per age group was 12 (range 4-16). The anthropometric parameters included acetabular volume, inclination, version, depth (coronal and axial), width (coronal and axial), Tönnis angle as well as anterior and posterior acetabular sector angles. Mean values, range, standard deviation, p-values, intra- and interrater reliability were calculated. All measurement values correlated significantly with age. Statistically, there was no side or gender related difference. Rapid growth phases were observed at the age of 11-12. The inter- and intrarater reliability was high (range ICC 0.8-0.99, Cronbach alpha 0.86-0.99, Bland-Altman good agreement). The present data provides age- and gender-related normative values as well as growth phases describing acetabular morphology. It should help paediatricians as well as paediatric and orthopaedic surgeons as a tool for early diagnosis of deformity and guidance for possible procedures.

Abstract
Purpose Defining normal anthropometric ranges of proximal femur and femoral head for each age group in children/adolescents is a necessity when differentiating normal anatomical variants from pathological deformities. Aim of this study is to define a set of normal anthropometric parameters based on 3D-CT measurements in normal asymptomatic children/adolescents and analyse the variations arising depending on age, side, and/or gender. Methods Morphology of the proximal femur was retrospectively assessed in 170 hips (85 children, < 15 years). Measurements included covered femoral head volume (CFHV), femoral head diameter (FHD), femoral head extrusion index (FHEI), coronal alpha angle (CAA), lateral centre-edge angle (LCEA), anterior (AOS) and posterior head-neck offset (POS) and femoral neck-shaft angle (FNSA). Correlation analyses as well as inter- and intra-rater reliability were performed. Results CFHV, LCEA, FHD and AOS/POS increased with age and FHEI, CAA, and FNSA decreased with age. None of the measurements correlated with the side. AOS showed a poor correlation with gender. Rapid growth phases were observed at the age of 1, 7 and 11. The inter- and intra-rater reliability was high (range ICC 0.8–0.99 Cronbach alpha 0.86–0.99). Conclusion This data delivers a description of growth phases as well as gender and age-correlated reference values of the proximal femoral morphology that could be used by paediatricians and orthopaedic/paediatric surgeons to early diagnose proximal femur deformities and provide guidance in the planning of possible operations.

Abstract
Background Rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO) is a type of pelvic osteotomy performed to improve the acetabular bony coverage against the femoral head for patients with acetabular dysplasia. The acetabular bony coverage is ideally evaluated three-dimensionally; however, there is a paucity of published data regarding three-dimensional morphology in patients with long-term excellent outcome after RAO. The present study investigated the characteristics of three-dimensional acetabular morphology with long-term excellent outcome after RAO in comparison to patients with normal hip joints and those converted to total hip arthroplasty (THA) after RAO because of osteoarthritis (OA) progression. Methods Anteroposterior plain radiograph and computed tomography data of 57 hip joints (17 joints with excellent outcome 20 years or more after RAO, 16 normal joints, and 20 joints converted to THA after RAO) were analyzed. The two-dimensional lateral center-edge (CE) angle from plain radiographs and acetabular anteversion, anterior acetabular sector angle, and posterior sector angle from computed tomography (CT) images were calculated. Results Compared with patients converted to THA, all parameters in patients with long-term excellent outcome after RAO were similar to those in patients with normal hip joints, particularly in the three-dimensional analyses. The anterior bony coverage was excessive, whereas the posterior bony coverage was deficient in patients converted to THA after RAO. Anterior bony impingement and posterior instability may be the cause of OA progression after RAO. Conclusion Caution must be taken to avoid rotating the separated fragment excessively to the anterior direction during RAO to prevent OA progression and achieve long-term excellent outcome.

Comparison of the modified Smith-Petersen (S-P) and ilioinguinal (I-I) approaches for periacetabular osteotomy in adult developmental dysplasia of the hip: a retrospective study. J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:157.

Abstract
Background Adult developmental dysplasia of the hip is an untreated congenital hip dysplasia that results in adult hip pain. One of the usual and effective methods for the treatment of this condition is periacetabular osteotomy. However, which approach is better between the modified S-P and the I-I approaches is still unclear and controversial. Method and materials We retrospectively assessed our experience with the modified S-P and the I-I approaches by inquiring and evaluating intraoperative blood loss, postoperative radiographic material, postoperative function of the hip, and related complications from July 2014 to January 2019. Results A total of 61 patients with adult developmental dysplasia of the hip were enrolled, and 33 patients were divided into a modified S-P group and 28 patients were divided into I-I group. The operation time and blood loss of group I-I were higher than that of group modified S-P. Other clinical and radiographic indexes showed no statistical significance between group the modified S-P and I-I groups. Conclusion There is no significant difference in the improvement of the function of the hip at the post-operation stage, but group I-I may require more operation time and blood loss at the intra-operation stage.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to describe the application of 3D printed templates for intraoperative navigation and simulation of periacetabular osteotomies (PAOs) in a cadaveric model.Five cadaveric specimens (10 sides) underwent thin-slice computed tomographic scans of the ala of ilium downwards to the proximal end of femoral shaft. Bernese PAO was performed. Using Mimics v10.1 software (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium), 3D computed tomographic reconstructions were created and the 4 standard PAO bone cuts-ischial, pubic, anterior, and posterior aspects of the ilium-as well as rotation of the dislocated acetabular bone blocks were simulated for each specimen. Using these data, custom 3D printed bone-drilling templates of the pelvis were manufactured, to guide surgical placement of the PAO bone cuts. An angle fix wedge was designed and printed, to help accurately achieve the predetermined rotation angle of the acetabular bone block. Each specimen underwent a conventional PAO. Preoperative, postsimulation, and postoperative lateral center-edge angles, acetabular indices, extrusion indices, and femoral head coverage were measured and compared; P and t values were calculated for above-mentioned measurements while comparing preoperative and postoperative data, and also in postsimulation and postoperative data comparison.All 10 PAO osteotomies were successfully completed using the 3D printed bone-drilling template and angle fix wedge. No osteotomy entered the hip joint and a single posterior column fracture was observed. Comparison of preoperative and postoperative measurements of the 10 sides showed statistically significant changes, whereas no statistically significant differences between postsimulation and postoperative values were noted, demonstrating the accuracy and utility of the 3D printed templates.The application of patient-specific 3D printed bone-drilling and rotation templates in PAO is feasible and may facilitate improved clinical outcomes, through the use of precise presurgical planning and reduced surgical complications with the precisely guided bone drilling.

Abstract
Hip dysplasia is a leading precursor of osteoarthritis and is seen in 20% to 40% of patients with osteoarthritis of the hip. An increase in mechanical stress on the cartilage matrix with failure of the acetabular labrum represents the major pathomechanism of degeneration. Because the prevalence of associated femoral deformities is high (>50%), the structural anatomy of the dysplastic hip must be assessed in multiple planes using radiographs and, if needed, advanced imaging modalities. Acetabular osteotomy (periacetabular and/or rotational) is the most commonly used procedure for the treatment of the majority of dysplastic hips in adults. Modern total hip replacement remains an excellent option for the more arthritic joints. Difficulties can arise from anatomical abnormalities and previous operations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical correction of acetabular dysplasia can postpone or prevent joint degeneration. The specific abnormalities that make up the dysplastic hip are controversial. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) What are the relative size, shape, and orientations of the typical nondysplastic hip? (2) How do these variables differ in the developmentally dysplastic hip? (3) Are there version differences between the acetabuli of dysplastic and nondysplastic hips? (4) Are there pairs of variables in which the change in one is always accompanied by a change in the other for both nondysplastic and dysplastic acetabuli? METHODS Of 117 consecutive three-dimensional (3-D) CT scans performed for hip dysplasia between March 1988 and October 1995, 48 met criteria of developmentally dysplastic hips by plain radiography. These were retrospectively compared with 55 pelvic 3-D CT scans culled from 81 consecutive scans performed for reasons other than hip dysplasia (ie, hip pain, trauma, infection) that did not affect the hip or pelvic landmarks. The 3-D reconstructions were orientated anatomically for standardization of the measurements to be compared. Representative 3-D volumes of the acetabular space were constructed from which we could measure anatomic positions and dimensional information. One author performed all image orientation and measurements. RESULTS Nondysplastic acetabuli are essentially hemispheric with height equal to width and twice the depth. The dysplastic acetabuli were elongated in females (52.4 ± 6.2 mm for dysplastic versus 46.5 ± 4.6 mm for nondysplastic (mean difference, 5.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.9-8.0; p = 0.002) and shallower in both females (18.7 ± 4.9 mm for dysplastic versus 23.6 ± 4.0 mm for nondysplastic; mean difference, 6.5; 95% CI, 4.4-8.5; p < 0.0001) and males (21.1 ± 4.8 mm for dysplastic versus 25.0 ± 4.3 mm for nondysplastic, mean difference, 5.3; 95% CI, 2.6-8.1; p = 0.0002); width was similar to that of nondysplastic hips. Acetabular openings were slightly more vertical than nondysplastic hips in females (5°; 95% CI, 1.9-8.1; p = 0.002) but not in male subjects. The dysplastic acetabuli were smaller in volume (18% in females, p = 0.002, and 19% in males, p = 0.0012) and had less space occupied by the femoral head compared with nondysplastic hips (p < 0.0001 for females, p < 0.0001 for males). Dysplastic hip midacetabulum was 4° more anteverted in females (95% CI, 0.5-6.8; p = 0.022) but not for males (p = 0.538). The upper dysplastic acetabulum was more retroverted in females and males (10.2°; 95% CI, 5.5-15; p < 0.0001, and 7.0°; 95% CI, 0.6-13.4; p = 0.032, respectively). Acetabular volumes in nondysplastic and dysplastic hips were related to acetabular width but not to length. CONCLUSIONS Developmentally dysplastic acetabuli are not deficient in merely a single dimension but are globally deficient. The subluxated femoral head lies in the elongated and retroverted superior acetabulum, which becomes progressively shallower as the acetabulum increases in length. Focally deficient anterior or posterior femoral head coverage is uncommon. Current procedures that redirect the acetabulum, no matter how technically successful, cannot fully compensate for the incongruence of a spherical femoral head within a shallow and elongated acetabulum unless corrected at an early age when acetabular remodeling is possible. Early detection and treatment of acetabular dysplasia should be emphasized. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, prognostic study.

An accurate method of radiological assessment of acetabular volume and orientation in computed tomography spatial reconstruction. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2015; 16:42.

Abstract
Background Two-dimensional (2D) measurements of acetabular morphology and orientation are well known; there is less information on these acetabular characteristics in three dimensions. One important reason is the lack of standardized reference planes for the pelvis, especially in relation to the spinopelvic unit; another is that no method precisely assesses the acetabulum in three-dimensional (3D) orientation based on its axis rather than on the directions of the edges of the acetabular rim. We present an objective, highly reliable and accurate, axis-based approach to acetabular anthropometry in the measurement of acetabular volume and spatial orientation in both normal and pathologic hips. This was done using reference planes based on the sacral base (SB) and true acetabular axis in 3D computed tomography (CT) pelvic reconstruction. Methods Radiological examinations of 30 physiologic pelves (60 acetabula) were included in the study. Reliability and accuracy of the method were verified by comparing acetabular angles in 2D pelvic scans with 3D reconstructions. We also applied the method to two pathologic acetabula. Results Comparison of axis position in the horizontal plane revealed significant positive correlations between 2D angle measurements (acetabular anteversion angle [AAA] and anterior acetabular index [AAI]) and 3D measurement of anteversion angle (p < 0.001 and p = 0.012, respectively). In the frontal plane, there was no difference between abduction angle, measured on topogram, and inclination angle, obtained from a 3D model (p = 0.517). In the sagittal plane, there was a significant negative correlation between AAA and acetabular tilt (p < 0.001). Inter- and intra-observer reproducibility was excellent for determination of the sacral-base plane and assessment of volume, with Fleiss κ coefficients of 0.850 and 0.783, respectively, and intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.900 and 0.950, respectively. Inter-observer reproducibility for evaluation of acetabular axis ranged from 0.783 to 0.883, and intra-rater reliability ranged from 0.850 to 0.900 for all 3D angles. Conclusions Our method is a new, reliable diagnostic tool for assessing the acetabula in both normal and pathologic hip joints. The sacral-base plane can be used as a stable reference that takes the relationship of the acetabulum to the spinopelvic unit into consideration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease may develop hip dysplasia. Hip geometry in these patients has not been well described in the literature. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We compared the hip morphometry in Charcot-Marie-Tooth hip dysplasia (CMTHD) and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in terms of extent of (1) acetabular dysplasia and subluxation, (2) acetabular anteversion and osseous support, (3) coxa valga and femoral version, and (4) osteoarthritis. METHODS Fourteen patients with CMTHD (19 hips; mean age, 23 years) presenting for periacetabular osteotomy were matched to 45 patients with DDH (45 hips; mean age, 21 years) based on age, sex, and BMI. We assessed acetabular dysplasia and subluxation using lateral center-edge angle (LCEA), anterior center-edge angle (ACEA), and acetabular roof angle of Tönnis (TA) on plain pelvic radiographs and acetabular volume, area of femoral head covered by acetabulum, and percentage of femoral head covered by acetabulum on three-dimensional CT reconstruction models. Acetabular version and bony support, femoral version, and neck-shaft angle were measured on two-dimensional axial CT scans. Hip osteoarthritis was graded radiographically according to Tönnis criteria. RESULTS Acetabular dysplasia was more severe in CMTHD, as measured by smaller LCEA (p < 0.001), ACEA (p < 0.001), and acetabular volume (p = 0.0178) and larger TA (p = 0.025). Hip subluxation was more pronounced in CMTHD, as demonstrated by lower area of femoral head covered by acetabulum (p = 0.034) and percentage of femoral head covered by acetabulum (p = 0.007). CMTHD was associated with higher acetabular anteversion (p < 0.001), lower anterior (p < 0.001) and posterior (p = 0.072) osseous support, and more severe coxa valga (p < 0.001). More (p = 0.006) arthritic hips were found in CMTHD. CONCLUSIONS The extent of acetabular dysplasia, hip subluxation, acetabular anteversion, coxa valga, and hip osteoarthritis was more severe in CMTHD. These findings are important in choosing the appropriate surgical strategy for patients affected by CMTHD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to review the clinical and imaging features as well as the potential complications of hip dysplasia in the young adult. Hip dysplasia is an important cause of secondary osteoarthrosis, which accounts for a significant proportion of patients requiring total hip arthroplasty. The radiographic diagnosis of mild hip dysplasia in the young adult may be subtle and is primarily based on the detection of deficient coverage of the femoral head by the acetabulum. CONCLUSION Cross-sectional imaging, including CT and MRI, afford improved detection and characterization by providing morphologic information about acetabular deficiency. MRI also allows evaluation of potential associated injuries to the articular cartilage, the labrum, and the ligamentum teres. Familiarity with the radiographic and cross-sectional imaging findings of mild hip dysplasia in the young adult may allow a timely diagnosis and implementation of treatment strategies, which may prevent or delay the development of early osteoarthritis.

Abstract
We examined the relationship between the size of the femoral cam in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and acetabular pathomorphology to establish if pincer impingement exists in patients with a femoral cam. CT scans of 37 symptomatic impinging hips with a femoral cam were analysed in a three-dimensional study and were compared with 34 normal hips. The inclination and version of the acetabulum as well as the acetabular rim angle and the bony acetabular coverage were calculated. These measurements were correlated with the size and shape of the femoral cams. While the size of the femoral cam varied characteristically, the acetabular morphology of the two groups was similar in terms of version (normal mean 23° (sd 7°); cam mean 22° (sd 9°)), inclination (normal mean 57° (sd 5°); cam mean 56° (sd 5°)), acetabular coverage (normal mean 41% (sd 5%); cam mean 42% (sd 4%)) and the mean acetabular rim angle (normal mean 82° (sd 5°); cam mean 83° (sd 4°)). We found no correlation between acetabular morphology and the severity of cam lesion and no evidence of either global or focal over-coverage to support the diagnosis of ‘mixed’ FAI. The femoral cam may provoke edge loading but removal of any acetabular bearing surface when treating cam FAI might induce accelerated wear. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2013;95-B:314–19.

Femoral anteversion is correlated with acetabular version and coverage in Asian women with anterior and global deficient subgroups of hip dysplasia: a CT study. Skeletal Radiol 2012; 41:1411-8.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Morphological correlation between the acetabulum and femur at the hip joint is still controversial. We tested the hypothesis that femoral anteversion correlates with acetabular version and coverage in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). MATERIALS AND METHODS Using pelvic computed tomography (CT) images of 79 hips in 49 Asian women with DDH and 49 normal hips, we measured femoral anteversion, the axial and vertical acetabular version and the acetabular sector angle (ASA) to demarcate femoral head coverage. Depending on the location of the acetabular bone defect, dysplastic hips were divided into three subgroups: the anterior, global and posterior deficiency groups. We performed a comparative analysis between dysplastic and normal hips using the Wilcoxon rank sum test, and a relative analysis between femoral anteversion and acetabular measurements in dysplastic hips using Pearson's correlation coefficient. RESULTS The amount of femoral anteversion in dysplastic hips was greater and more variable than in normal hips (p < 0.0001, p = 0.0277 respectively). Femoral anteversion in dysplastic hips correlated significantly with acetabular anteversion in the groups with anterior and global deficiency subgroups (p < 0.05, r = 0.2990, p < 0.05, r = 0.451 respectively), but not with the posterior deficiency subgroup. Femoral anteversion also correlated with vertical acetabular version. When acetabular coverage was examined, significant correlations were noted between femoral anteversion and anterior and superior coverage, but not with posterior coverage. These correlations were not observed in normal hips. CONCLUSIONS Our results showed significantly greater and more variable femoral anteversion in DDH, and a significant correlation between femoral anteversion and acetabular version and coverage in DDH with anterior and global acetabular bone deficiency.

Abstract
AIM To determine a possible association between femoral-acetabular impingement (FAI) volume and the development of labral tear using a three-dimensional (3D) model reconstruction of the acetabulum and the femoral head. MATERIALS AND METHODS Magnetic resonance arthrography images of the hip in 42 patients with pain and suspected labral tear were acquired using a 1.5T MRI machine. Using 3D analysis software, outlines of the acetabular cup and femoral head were drawn and 3D reconstruction obtained. To control for differences in patient size, ratios of acetabulum : femoral head volume (AFV) and acetabulum : femoral head surface area (AFA) were used for analysis. The association between volume of acetabulum : femoral head and FAI was investigated using ANOVA analysis. RESULTS There were 19 men and 23 women with a mean age of 39 years (range 18-78 years). The average AFV was 0.64 (range 0.37-1.05, SD 0.16) and AFA was 0.73 (range 0.36-1.26, SD 0.23). Herniation pit was significantly associated with a small AFV. CONCLUSION Femoral neck herniation pits are associated with a low AFV. Gross volume and surface area ratios do not appear to correlate with labral tears or cartilage loss. This technique will enable more advanced analysis of morphological variations associated with FAI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The appearance of acetabular version differs between the supine and weight bearing positions in developmental dysplasia of the hip. Weight bearing radiographic evaluation has been recommended to ensure the best coherence between symptoms, functional appearance, and hip deformities. Previous prevalence estimates of acetabular retroversion in dysplastic hips have been established in radiographs recorded with the patient supine and with inclusion only if pelvic tilt met standardized criteria. We assessed the prevalence and the extent of acetabular retroversion in dysplastic hip joints in weight bearing pelvic radiographs. PATIENTS AND METHODS We assessed 95 dysplastic hip joints (54 patients) in weight bearing anteroposterior pelvic radiographs, measuring the acetabular height and the distance from the acetabular roof to the point of crossing of the acetabular rims, if present. RESULTS Acetabular retroversion was found in 31 of 95 dysplastic hip joints. In 28 of 31 hip joints with retroversion, crossover of the acetabular rims was positioned within the cranial 30% sector. The degree of pelvic tilt differed between retroverted and non-retroverted dysplastic hip joints, though only reaching a statistically significant level in male dysplastic hip joints. INTERPRETATION We identified cranial acetabular retroversion in one-third of dysplastic hip joints when assessed on weight bearing pelvic radiographs. If assessed on pelvic radiographs obtained with the patient supine, and with inclusion only if the degree of pelvic tilt meets standardized criteria, the prevalence of acetabular retroversion may be underestimated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Untreated hip dysplasia can result in a degenerative process joint and secondary osteoarthritis at an early age. While most periacetabular osteotomies (PAOs) are performed to relieve symptoms, the osteotomy is presumed to slow or prevent degeneration unless irreparable damage to the cartilage has already occurred. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We therefore determined (1) whether changes in the thickness of the cartilage in the hip occur after PAO, and (2) how many patients had an acetabular labral tear and whether labral tears are associated with thinning of the cartilage after PAO. PATIENTS AND METHODS We prospectively followed 22 women and four men with hip dysplasia with MRI before PAO and again 1 year and 2(1/2) years postoperatively to determine if cartilage thinning (reflecting osteoarthritis) occurred. The thickness of the femoral and acetabular cartilage was estimated with a stereologic method. Three and one-half years postoperatively, 18 of 26 patients underwent MR arthrography to investigate if they had a torn acetabular labrum. RESULTS The acetabular cartilage thickness differed between 1 and 2(1/2) years postoperatively (preoperative 1.40 mm, 1 year postoperatively 1.47 mm, and 2(1/2) years postoperatively 1.35 mm), but was similar at all times for the femoral cartilage (preoperative 1.38 mm, 1 year postoperatively 1.43 mm, and 2(1/2) years postoperatively 1.38 mm.) Seventeen of 18 patients had a torn labrum. The tears were located mainly superior on the acetabular rim. CONCLUSION Cartilage thickness 2(1/2) years after surgery compared with preoperatively was unchanged indicating the osteoarthritis had not progressed during short-term followup after PAO.

Abstract
This study assessed the angle of acetabular anteversion (AA) in 66 children with developmental dysplasia of the hip (132 hips: 24 left, 25 right, 17 bilateral and 49 unaffected hips as controls). The AA was measured by two- and three-dimensional computed tomography (2D-CT and 3D-CT). Measurements were taken by three observers and repeated 2 weeks later by one of these observers. Intra- and inter-observer agreement was analysed using the intra-class correlation coefficient. For all hips, the mean AA (+/-SD) measured by 2D-CT versus 3D-CT was statistically significantly different (15.76 +/- 5.23 degrees versus 16.76 +/- 4.43 degrees , respectively). The mean (+/-SD) AA by 3D-CT in unaffected and affected hips was also statistically significantly different (13.92 +/- 3.95 degrees versus 18.44 +/- 3.82 degrees , respectively). A significant positive correlation between age at presentation and AA was found in affected, but not unaffected, hips. The 3D-CT showed better intra- and inter-observer agreement than 2D-CT for assessing AA hence is a more reliable measurement of AA. An increased AA is one component of anatomical abnormalities in developmental dysplasia of the hip and the abnormality appears to worsen with age.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hip dysplasia is characterized by an excessively oblique and shallow acetabulum with insufficient coverage of the femoral head. It is a known cause of pain and the development of early osteoarthritis in young adults. The periacetabular osteotomy is the joint-preserving treatment of choice in young adults with symptomatic hip dysplasia. The surgical aim of this extensive procedure is to reorient the acetabulum to improve coverage and eliminate the pathological hip joint mechanics. Intraoperative assessment of the achieved acetabular reorientation is therefore crucial. The "classic" surgical approaches for the periacetabular osteotomy inflict extensive trauma to the tissues and some involve detachment of muscles. The type of surgical approach may affect the occurrence of complications, duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, transfusion requirements, and length of hospital stay. The aims of the PhD thesis were I) to assess the outcome of a new, minimally invasive transsartorial approach for periacetabular osteotomy; II) to compare the minimally invasive approach with the previously used "classic" ilioinguinal approach; and III) to assess the reliability of a novel device for intraoperative assessment of the achieved acetabular reorientation. METHODS Three studies underly this PhD thesis. In studies I and II, the experience with the minimally invasive and ilioinguinal approaches was retrospectively assessed by database inquiry and evaluation of radiographic material. Data regarding patient demographics, patient history, intraoperative measures and complications was recorded in a validated database. Center-edge and acetabular index angles were measured in preoperative and postoperative pelvic radiographs to assess preoperative dysplasia and the achieved acetabular reorientation. The well-defined study groups consisted of 94 and 263 periacetabular osteotomies in studies I and II, respectively. In study III, intraoperative angle measurements were carried out prospectively in 35 periacetabular osteotomies. The obtained measures (center-edge and acetabular index angles) were compared with those of postoperative pelvic radiographs. Furthermore, a cadaver study was conducted to evaluate intra- and interobserver variability of the device and to assess whether pelvic positioning influenced the variability of measurements. The applied methodology was critically reviewed. RESULTS Study I--The minimally invasive approach had the following outcome. The mean duration of surgery was 73 min and the median intraoperative blood loss was 250 ml. Blood transfusion was required following 3% of the procedures. There were no cases of moderate or severe technical and neurovascular complications, and the achieved center-edge and acetabular index angles suggest that optimal reorientation can be achieved. Hip joint survival with total hip arthroplasty as the end point was 98% at 4.3 years. Study II--When compared with the outcome of the ilioinguinal approach, the procedures performed by using the minimally invasive approach had a statistically significant shorter duration of surgery, less intraoperative blood loss and hemoglobin reduction, and fewer transfusion requirements. The achieved reorientation was comparable between groups. There were no cases of moderate or severe complications in the minimally invasive group and three cases (3%) of arterial thrombosis in the ilioinguinal group. At follow-up 4.9 years after hip joint surgery, survival rates were 97% in the minimally invasive group and 93% in the ilioinguinal group. Study III--Intraoperatively obtained angle measures differed less than +/- 5 degrees from measurements on postoperative pelvic radiographs, and the intra- and interobserver variability of the device was confined well within +/-5 degrees. Positioning did not influence the variation of angle measurements beyond intraobserver variability of the device. INTERPRETATION The new minimally invasive transsartorial approach appears to be a safe technique, allowing optimal acetabular reorientation, and seems to minimize tissue trauma. In addition, short-term hip joint survival rate is encouraging. The outcome compares favorably with that of the ilioinguinal approach, and the results support continued use of the minimally invasive approach for periacetabular osteotomy. Optimal reorientation of the acetabulum is crucial in periacetabular osteotomy. The novel measuring device is a potentially helpful tool for intraoperative assessment of center-edge and acetabular index angels. It is simple to use and facilitates repeated reliable angle measurements during acetabular reorientation, making intraoperative radiographs unnecessary. The new, minimally invasive approach and the novel measuring device represent important surgical advances in contemporary periacetabular osteotomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Little data exists on the original morphology of acetabular dysplasia obtained from patients without radiographic advanced osteoarthritic changes. The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution and degree of acetabular dysplasia in a large number of patients showing no advanced degenerative changes using three-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-four dysplastic hips in 55 consecutive patients were studied. All 84 hips were in pre- or early osteoarthritis without radiographic evidence of joint space narrowing, formation of osteophytes or cysts, or deformity of femoral heads. The mean age at the time of CT scan was 35 years (range 15-64 years). 3D images were reconstructed and analyzed using recent computer imaging software (INTAGE Realia and Volume Player). Deficiency types and degrees of acetabular dysplasia were precisely evaluated using these computer software. RESULTS The average Harris hip score at CT scans was 82 points. Twenty-two hips (26%) were classified as anterior deficiency, 17 hips (20%) as posterior deficiency, and 45 hips (54%) as lateral deficiency. No significant difference was found in the Harris hip score among these groups. The analysis of various measurements indicated wide variations. There was a significant correlation between the Harris hip score and the acetabular coverage (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our results indicated wide variety of deficiency type and degree of acetabular dysplasia. Hips with greater acetabular coverage tended to have a higher Harris hip score.

Abstract
We developed and assessed a measuring device for intraoperative assessment of the acetabular index and center edge angle during acetabular reorientation in periacetabular osteotomy. We asked whether reliable assessment of angles could be made using the device; to be reliable we presumed the variability of angle measurements should not exceed that of inherent variability when assessing angles on radiographs (+/- 5 degrees ). The device was mounted bilaterally on the pelvis, and using fluoroscopy, angle measurements were obtained with adjustable measuring discs. We conducted a cadaver study to assess intraobserver and interobserver variability of the device and to assess if pelvic positioning influenced variation of measurements. Intraoperative measurements of 35 consecutive patients were compared with measurements on postoperative radiographs. Intraoperatively obtained angle measurements differed less than +/- 5 degrees from measurements on postoperative radiographs and the intraobserver and interobserver variability of the device were confined within +/- 5 degrees . Positioning did not influence the variation of angle measurements beyond intraobserver variability of the device when applying arcs of tilt and rotation of +/- 12.5 degrees . We believe the device is a potentially helpful tool in the periacetabular osteotomy. It is simple to use and facilitates repeated reliable angle measurements during acetabular reorientation, making intraoperative radiographs unnecessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A new minimally invasive transsartorial approach for the Bernese periacetabular osteotomy was developed. We investigated whether this technique was safe and successful with regard to minimizing tissue trauma and, more importantly, whether it was possible to obtain optimal reorientation of the acetabulum. METHODS Our experience with this approach was retrospectively assessed by means of database inquiry and the evaluation of radiographs. We assessed ninety-four procedures performed between April 2003 and August 2005 to determine perioperative and early postoperative outcome measures, the achieved acetabular reorientation, and hip joint survival. RESULTS The mean duration of surgery was 73.1 minutes, the median perioperative blood loss was 250 mL, and the mean reduction in the hemoglobin level was 33 g/L. Blood transfusion was required following 3% of the procedures. No injuries to the great vessels or nerves, arterial thromboses, unintended extension of the osteotomy, or deep infections occurred. The postoperative acetabular reorientation was assessed by measuring the center-edge and acetabular index angles, the medians of which were 34 degrees and 3 degrees , respectively. With total hip arthroplasty as the end point, the hip joint survival rate was estimated to be 98% at 4.3 years. CONCLUSIONS Osteotomy with use of this minimally invasive transsartorial approach appears to be a safe, relatively short surgical procedure associated with a relatively small amount of blood loss and minimal transfusion requirements. Optimal acetabular reorientation can be achieved with this technique.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We reviewed transverse pelvic computed tomography scans of 197 consecutively referred adult patients with hip pain thought to be secondary to developmental dysplasia. A center-edge angle of 20 degrees or less was considered the upper normal value. Four groups were identified: 69 patients with apparently unilateral right developmental dysplasia (left hip center-edge angles greater than 20 degrees), 26 patients with apparently unilateral left developmental dysplasia (right hip center-edge angles greater than 20 degrees), 68 patients with bilateral developmental dysplasia, and 34 patients with bilateral borderline developmental dysplasia (bilateral center-edge angles less than or equal to 25 degrees). The pelvic computed tomography scans were compared with computed tomography scans of 41 control subjects with healthy hips. The joint anatomy of patients with developmental dysplasia differed from that of control subjects in almost all aspects. Acetabular anteversion was larger in control subjects compared with patients with developmental dysplasia. We found inverse relationships between femoral anteversion and the anterior acetabular sector angle and coronal and sagittal center-edge angles in dysplastic hips, and also between femoral neck-shaft angles and the anterior acetabular sector angle. There was an inverse relationship between reduced anterior support developmental dysplasia in which plain radiographs suggested unilateral dysplastic abnormality only, computed tomography scans revealed both hips to be abnormal. The data suggest that patients referred with seemingly unilateral developmental dysplasia also are at risk of having contralateral dysplastic malformation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Diagnostic study, Level II (development of diagnostic criteria on consecutive patients [with universally applied reference "gold" standard]).

Abstract
Anteroposterior pelvic radiographs are the gold standard of imaging for mechanical hip problems. However, correct interpretation is difficult because the projected morphologic features of the acetabulum and nearly all routinely used hip parameters depend on individual pelvic position, which can vary considerably during acquisition. We developed software that recreates the projected acetabular rim and the measured hip parameters as if obtained in a standardized orientation. The vertical and horizontal distances between two easy identifiable points were used as indicators of tilt and rotation. These points were the middle of the sacrococcygeal joint and the middle of the upper border of the symphyseal gap. Calibration of the indicators was achieved by means of serial pelvic radiographs of 20 cadaver pelves. Validation of tilt indicator in 100 patients and a theoretical error analysis revealed that for accurate tilt prediction an additional one-time lateral radiograph of the pelvis is mandatory.
