The aim of this study was to perform periacetabular triple osteotomy (PATO) in children under 6-years-old with severe acetabular deficiency aiming to obtain important correction and avoid excessive pressure on epiphysis, anterior overcorrection and acetabular retroversion. This is a retrospective study of 29 PATO using single anterior approach in 24 patients under 6-years-old with dysplasia of the hip. Clinical examination and radiographic evaluation were done pre-op, post-op and at last follow-up.

We interpreted these parameters according to treatment's results carried out for patients presenting clinical PS, aiming to define a threshold value for peroneal H-reflex delay to accurately diagnose. A retrospective mono-centric review of 27 patients, 9 females and 18 males, aged 22-65 years, benefited from peroneal H-reflex test and treated for clinical PS.
