AANA Hip Arthroscopy - September 2024-Hip Dysplasia and Dysplasia Variants

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation covers hip dysplasia, its diagnosis, and treatment, including variants like borderline dysplasia and micro-instability. Hip dysplasia involves undercoverage of the femoral head due to acetabular abnormalities, leading to instability, pain, labral tears, and early arthritis. Diagnosis depends on radiographic measures such as the lateral center edge angle, Taunus angle, and FEAR index, supplemented by imaging like 3D CT for detailed morphology. Treatment often involves periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), which reorients the acetabulum to improve coverage, showing good long-term outcomes. Borderline dysplasia and micro-instability require nuanced diagnosis and tailored treatment. Collaborative evaluation is encouraged for complex cases.
