Key result
In finite element analysis models of dysplastic hips, periacetabular osteotomy reduced maximum von Mises stress, but stress remained higher in models with superior or anterosuperior cartilage defects.

Stress reduction post-PAO is attenuated by cartilage defects; leaves open whether preoperative 3D mapping refines DDH surgical selection.
Does simulated periacetabular osteotomy reduce biomechanical stress in different types of dysplastic acetabular cartilage defects?
Different types of cartilage deficiency affect the biomechanical environment both pre- and post-PAO, suggesting that accurate 3D cartilage assessment can aid PAO decision-making.
Xu et al. (2016) studied Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) vs. Pre-PAO models was evaluated on Maximum von Mises stress on the load-bearing area. In finite element analysis models of dysplastic hips, periacetabular osteotomy reduced maximum von Mises stress, but stress remained higher in models with superior or anterosuperior cartilage defects.
