Abstract

A less-invasive modification of the approach to periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) has recently been popularized by sparing the rectus femoris origin (RS-PAO). The RS-PAO approach with its lack of intra-articular inspection and associated treatment is novel, and there are few published results on the outcomes following this technique. We report on a consecutive series of RS-PAO cases, including patient reported outcomes (PROs), acetabular fragment reorientation, and complications. We reviewed a consecutive series of 103 patients (103 procedures) who underwent RS-PAO from June 2012 to January 2016 with a mean 2-year follow-up. We collected PROs, radiographic, and clinical outcomes. PROs consisted of PROMIS (Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) measures covering the domains of physical function, mental health, and a numeric pain score (NPS). Physical function and mental health were reported as standardized T-scores. Appropriate bivariate statistics were used for the analyses. Physical function improved from a preoperative mean of 39.9 (95% confidence interval [CI], 38.0–42.0) to a postoperative value of 50.0 T-score units (95% CI, 47.01–52.7; dav = 1.2). The PROMIS global mental-health T-scores improved from a preoperative median of 45.8 (interquartile range [IQR], 41.1–50.8) to a postoperative value of 53.3 (IQR, 50.8–59.0; p < 0.001, correlation coefficient [r] = 0.77). Pain decreased from a median preoperative value of 6 (IQR, 3–8) to a postoperative value of 2 (IQR, 1–3; p < 0.001, r = 0.71). The postoperative acetabular index (AI) was within the correction goal in 75% of the cases (77/103) and lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) was within goal in 87% (90/103) of the cases. Complications included intraoperative ischial fracture (n = 1), nonunion of the superior ramus (n = 1), ischiofemoral impingement (n = 1), delayed union (n = 1), and wound dehiscence (n = 2). There have been no reoperations for intra-articular pathology. The data demonstrated that using the RS-PAO technique without concomitant intra-articular work allows for appropriate acetabular positioning as well as significant improvement in physical function, mental health, and pain with an acceptable short-term complication profile and low rate of reoperation.
