Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a specialised surgical procedure used to treat hip dysplasia, a condition where the hip socket (acetabulum) is too shallow to fully support the head of the thigh bone (femur). Hip dysplasia can cause pain, instability, and increase the risk of early-onset osteoarthritis due to the improper alignment of the hip joint. The goal of PAO is to reposition the hip socket to provide better coverage of the femoral head, improving joint stability and function. At Brisbane Physiotherapy, we support patients through the rehabilitation process after PAO to help them regain mobility, strength, and return to an active lifestyle.
