Observations show improved functional outcomes post surgery in non-athletic patients, indicating enhanced quality of life.
Radiographic parameters and functional outcomes improve with periacetabular osteotomy. Non-athletic, moderately active patients returned to their pre-surgery activity levels on average 4.5 months after surgery and were able to walk without pain after an average of 3.4 months. A progressively narrowing preoperative joint space translates into longer pain-free full weight-bearing times.
