Key result
3D CT suggests lateral shift is safer than anterolateral shift for dysplastic hips with posterior deficiency.

3D CT may aid precise planning for rotational acetabular osteotomy; case-level data leaves optimal shift direction open for prospective validation.

Does three-dimensional CT reconstruction improve preoperative and postoperative assessment of rotational acetabular osteotomy in children with dysplastic hips?
3D CT reconstruction provides exact anatomic information on acetabular coverage, aiding precise operative planning for rotational acetabular osteotomy in dysplastic hips.
Azuma et al. (1990) conducted an observational in Dysplastic hips (n=6). Three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) reconstruction was evaluated on Anatomic information on acetabular coverage and relationship between acetabulum and femoral head. Three-dimensional CT reconstruction of 6 dysplastic hips revealed potential dangers of anterolateral rotational shift when marked posterior deficiency is present, suggesting a lateral shift may be safer.
