Return to Play After Periacetabular Osteotomy for Treatment of Acetabular Dysplasia in Adolescent and Young Adult Athletes
Conclusion:
Most athletic patients undergoing PAO are female patients and show postoperative improvements in function and return to athletic play. However, although there was no decline in overall activity level at a mean of 3 years, self-assessed athletic performance was attained and maintained in approximately one-half of the study population.
