Relationship between labral length and symptoms in patients with acetabular dysplasia before rotational acetabular osteotomy.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between acetabular labral length and symptoms in patients with acetabular dysplasia. In a retrospective medical record review, 218 patients with acetabular dysplasia who had undergone rotational acetabular osteotomy were identified. After implementing the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 53 patients were analyzed for preoperative symptoms measured by the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ), acetabular bone morphology parameters by anteroposterior pelvic radiographs and labral parameters by radial magnetic resonance imaging.
