“…The primary indications for PAO included pain greater than 6 months [47,56], adequate ROM [3,27,47], radiographic evidence of residual hip dysplasia [2-4, 6, 7, 23, 27, 28, 45, 47, 50, 56, 57], and closure of triradiate cartilage [7,27]. In a number of studies [2,3,7,27,28,47,56,57], an abduction and internal rotation radiograph was used to determine if the femoral head would roll into the acetabulum and obtain the expected congruity after surgery.…”
