Outcomes and Return-to-Sports Rates in Patients With Borderline Hip Dysplasia After Periacetabular Osteotomy: A Case Series With 5-Year Follow-up.

The return-to-sports rate in patients with BHD after PAO was high at over 92%. Most patients returned to sports after a period of 6 months or 3 to 6 months. Overall, activity levels and hip function improved after PAO. A number of patients adjusted their sports activity after PAO. Although more patients engaged in low-impact sports, participation in high-impact sports was maintained postoperatively. The results of this study may help both patients and orthopaedic surgeons in deciding on the best surgical procedure in the setting of BHD.
