2Acetabular dysplasia is a hip disorder that is
caused by a shallow hip socket which fails to
provide the right coverage for the ball of the
hip joint. When the femoral head (ball) doesnt
get enough coverage, it tends to rub damage the
hip joints labrum and internal cushion lining.
This internal rupture can damage the joint
triggering an early case of osteoarthritis which
drastically can reduce the quality of
life. While acetabular dysplasia can straight
away show up in childhood. In a few cases, it
silently takes years to develop and show symptoms
resulting in osteoarthritis. Pelvic osteotomy is
a procedure performed to stabilize the hip and
prevent the early onset of osteoarthritis in
patients with acetabular dysplasia.

specialist in Mumbai, we explain the causes,
symptoms and choice of pelvic osteotomy for
acetabular dysplasia treatment. Read on What
causes acetabular dysplasia? Acetabular
dysplasia in most cases is caused by the
Developmental Dislocation of the Hip that was
either inadequately treated in childhood or
ignored due to mild symptoms. Children treated
for DDG must be adequately followed up by
physicians to ensure that the bones are fully
grown. Failure to do this can increase the chance

4Symptoms of acetabular dysplasia In a few
cases, the DDH can be so mild in childhood and go
under the radar. And it can take years or decades
for the symptoms to manifest. Pain in and around
muscles of the hip, ache and discomfort in front
of the hip and instability of the hip are common
symptoms experienced by patients with acetabular
dysplasia. A hip specialist must be right away
consulted for treatment of acetabular
dysplasia when such symptoms are
manifested. Treatment for acetabular
dysplasia Weight loss, physical therapy and

5- Pelvic osteotomy for acetabular dysplasia
- Pelvic osteotomy is a bone shaping procedure that
is performed to sufficiently align the femoral
head into the hip socket. Pelvic osteotomy
procedures can be categorized into three types
based on how the alignment is performed - Reshaping Osteotomy The volume and shape of the
hip socket are adequately modified. - Redirectional Osteotomy The angle of the hip
socket is changed to ensure the right mechanics. - Augmented Osteotomy The total coverage of the
ball is improved for better alignment. - The immediate goal of pelvic osteotomy is to
eliminate the instability, irritability and joint
degeneration caused by misshaped hip joint. The
long-term goal of pelvic osteotomy is to prevent
or delay the onset of osteoarthritis.
