Rotational Acetabular Osteotomy for Osteoarthritis with Acetabular Dysplasia: Conversion Rate to Total Hip Arthroplasty within Twenty Years and Osteoarthritis Progression After a Minimum of Twenty Years
Conclusions:
The progression of osteoarthritis after rotational acetabular osteotomy was not detected for at least twenty years in most hips with either pre-osteoarthritis or initial osteoarthritis in this cohort. Rotational acetabular osteotomy may delay conversion to total hip arthroplasty in advanced osteoarthritis.
Level of Evidence:
