Abstract
Residual hip dysplasia often progresses to early osteoarthritis with many patients requiring arthroplasty at a relatively young age to relieve symptoms. Alternatively, reconstructive pelvic surgery is directed at correcting hip mechanics with the expectation that the need for arthroplasty will be delayed or even eliminated. Bernese periacetabular osteotomy has proven effective in delaying the development of arthritic changes and good mid- to long-term outcomes have been reported. This article describes the technical details of the Bernese periacetabular osteotomy.
