Analysis of Femoral Version in Patients Undergoing Periacetabular Osteotomy for Symptomatic Acetabular Dysplasia.

DISCUSSION: Despite concerns that transverse plane femoral anatomy influences the stability of the hip joint after skeletal maturity, we did not find a statistical association between femoral version and severity of dysplasia or presenting symptomatology. This finding suggests that femoral version is not a major influence on the clinical presentation of acetabular dysplasia. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IIIb.
