Rotational Acetabular Osteotomy.

Rotational Acetabular Osteotomy. Clin Orthop Surg. 2017 Jun;9(2):129-135 Authors: Yasunaga Y, Fujii J, Tanaka R, Yasuhara S, Yamasaki T, Adachi N, Ochi M Abstract Hip dysplasia is the most common cause of secondary osteoarthritis (OA). To prevent the early onset of secondary OA, Nishio's transposition osteotomy, Steel's triple osteotomy, Eppright's dial osteotomy, Wagner's spherical acetabular osteotomy, Tagawa's rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO), and Ganz' periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) have been proposed. PAO and RAO are now commonly used in surgical treatment of symptomatic acetabular dysplasia in Europe, North America, and Asia. The aim of this paper is to present the followings: the patient selection criteria for RAO; the surgical technique of RAO; the long-term outcome of RAO; and the future perspectives.
