Excerpt

A number of important elements related to femoral and acetabular deformity in patients with hip dysplasia remain incompletely characterized. These deformities have important implications for both for hip-preserving surgery and for THA. Dysplastic femora have shorter necks, smaller and straighter canals, increased anteversion, and aspheric femoral heads in degrees that vary with the severity of dysplasia [1, 4]. We know that there are overlapping clinical presentations between patients with hip dysplasia and those with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) because of femoral pathoanatomy, but the degree to which this is the case remains poorly defined. …
