The Literature Shows Heterogeneity and Promise for the Role of Hip Arthroscopy Combined With Periacetabular Osteotomy for Dysplastic Patients, But Nuanced Decision Making and Further Research Are Required

Periacetabular osteotomy has been shown to be a powerful hip preservation procedure for over 4 decades. The advances in hip arthroscopy have revolutionized intra-articular hip preservation procedures, and combining the 2 operations is a deeply debated topic among hip preservation surgeons. The exact role of hip arthroscopy in the face of hip dysplasia and borderline hip dysplasia continues to be defined in our literature. The addition of hip arthroscopy to osteotomy patients has shown safety and improved patient outcomes. Clinical identification of combined impingement and dysplasia is imperative to potentially improve our patient outcomes.
