Providing a computationally derived, mechanically optimised target correction during preoperative planning can improve joint contact mechanics of hip dysplasia treated with periacetabular osteotomy

CONCLUSIONS: Providing hip surgeons with a patient-specific, computationally optimal reorientation during preoperative planning may improve contact mechanics after PAO, which may help reduce osteoarthritis progression in patients with hip dysplasia.PMID:38073284 | DOI:10.1177/11207000231212403
