    Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) surgery improves hip stability and function by correcting the deformed hip socket.

  • 3

    Studies show that PAO has excellent outcomes, with 95% hip longevity at 10 years and 91.2% patient satisfaction.

  • 4

    PAO is particularly effective for young, active patients with joint instability but no significant arthritis.

  • 5

    Timely diagnosis and specialized treatment are crucial for hip dysplasia, as symptoms can be easily misdiagnosed.
