Frank Hip Dysplasia
At AHIRF, we have played a leading role in advancing the understanding and treatment of frank hip dysplasia through dedicated research and innovation. Our work has contributed to improving diagnostic accuracy, clarifying surgical indications, and optimizing outcomes—particularly through periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), hip arthroscopy, and combined approaches. By focusing on the structural deficiencies characteristic of frank dysplasia, we continue to drive progress in personalizing treatment plans, preserving native hip anatomy, and enhancing long-term joint function for affected patients.
