Periacetabular Osteotomy With and Without Arthroscopic Management of Central Compartment Pathology (NCT03481010)
Periacetabular Osteotomy With and Without Arthroscopic Management of Central Compartment Pathology: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
At present, it is not clear whether performing a hip arthroscopy at the same time as a PAO improves patient outcomes after surgery compared to a PAO alone. This research project will randomize patients to receive either a PAO alone, or a PAO and a hip arthroscopy at the same time.

Location: Northwestern University — Chicago, Illinois
Age range: 16 Years to 50 Years
