Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a very effective reconstructive procedure for treatment of @entity7195 . An orthopaedic paediatric surgeon and a reconstructive hip arthroplasty surgeon performed this procedure together in the early phase of their learning curve and then performed it individually. The early clinical and radiographic results of 85 consecutive PAOs performed in this @entity4207 orthopaedic unit were reviewed. The mean Merle-d'Aubign   score increased from 12.4 preoperatively to 16 at follow-up. Pre-operatively 73 @entity572 were anteverted and 12 were neutral or retroverted. The mean angle of Wiberg improved from 5 degrees to 21 degrees (p < 0.0001) in anteverted @entity572 , and from 9 degrees to 30 degrees in neutral or retroverted @entity572 . The mean angle of Lequesne and de S  ze improved from 6 degrees to 35 degrees (p < 0.0001) in anteverted @entity572 , and in neutral or retroverted @entity572 from 9 degrees to 30 degrees (p < 0.0001). The acetabular index improved from 26 degrees to 8 degrees (p < 0.0001) in anteverted @entity572 , and from 21 degrees to 7 degrees (p < 0.0001) in neutral or retroverted @entity572 . Over the 7 year period the @entity190 and operative time improved from 2000 ml to 900 ml and 4 hours to 2 hours respectively. Four @entity572 (four @entity1 ) required conversion to total hip replacement. The radiographic correction and improved clinical scores are similar to those in previous studies. This study shows a survival rate of 94% at 58 months following periacetabular osteotomy. The learning curve and the early results of this procedure performed in our @entity4207 unit are encouraging.
