A member asked:
Was diagnosed w/ hip dysplasia and femoral anteversion and dr recommended osteotomy. after seeing ct scan he said osteotomy won't help pain. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I can only guess tha: -on the CT there was a significant degenerative disease, or that the osteotomy will not give U adequate coverage. Or maybe femoral osteotomy along with an acetabular procedure still would not help if there was very poor bone stock on the acetabular side.
