No correlations between radiological angles and self-assessed quality of life in patients with hip dysplasia at 2-13 years of follow-up after periacetabular osteotomy.

CONCLUSION: The physical components of QoL in patients undergoing PAO are significantly lower than the Danish population used as reference. Furthermore, the results suggest that physical function after PAO decreases with longer follow-up time. Neither the acetabular angles nor hypermobility is associated with the physical components of QoL.
