Objective: With three precise osteotomies it is possible to move the acetabulum to achieve sufficient coverage in dysplastic hips.
Indications: Main indication is a painful dysplastic hip. Other acetabular pathologies, such as retroversion can also be addressed.
Deformity and malposition of the acetabulum can occur during the development of the hip. Developmental hip dysplasia and acetabular retroversion are possible causes of osteoarthritis in the young adult. Surgical management with reorientation of the acetabulum allows causal therapy of the deformity and preservation of the native hip joint.

- Labral lesions are a common reason for hip arthroscopy, highlighted by a case involving a 49-year-old woman with a significant labral tear and bone growth on the acetabular rim.
- After surgery, the patient experienced unexpected complications, including hip joint instability and subluxation, which had not been documented before in previous cases.
- The findings suggest that special caution is necessary when performing surgeries on patients with hip dysplasia, as their acetabular labrum plays a crucial role in joint stability.
