Three-dimensional morphology of lunate surface in hip dysplasia: Theoretical implications for periacetabular osteotomy

Three-dimensional information and fundamental morphological features of the lunate surface in dysplastic hips were significantly different from those in the normal group. These findings may aid precise computational biomechanical analysis, preoperative planning for periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), achievement of satisfactory cartilaginous congruency, and judgment of postoperative prognosis in addition to postoperative treatment evaluation.
