Key Points

This study aims to explore the decision-making processes and needs of adolescents and young adults with acetabular dysplasia considering periacetabular osteotomy.
Conducted semi-structured interviews with 17 adolescents and young adults aged 13 years and older who had PAO surgery more than 6 months prior.
Questions focused on experiences with AD diagnosis, decision-making for PAO, and preferences for a decision aid.
Interviews were coded to identify key themes, based on both inductive and deductive methods.
Most participants experienced multiple provider consultations before receiving an AD diagnosis, often feeling relief upon diagnosis.
Participants indicated the desire for open communication with their surgical team, valuing shared decision-making and tailored peer connections.
A comprehensive, interactive online decision aid for PAO was identified as a valuable resource for participants.
