Femoral Morphology in Patients Undergoing Periacetabular Osteotomy for Classic or Borderline Acetabular Dysplasia: Are Cam Deformities Common?
Prevalence of Cam deformities in our series of SAD patients having undergone PAO is less than prior reports. Careful radiographic measurement should be performed to avoid overtreating these hips with unnecessary osteochondroplasty procedures.
In the present study, patients receiving aprotinin as part of a strict blood conservation strategy represent a population at high risk for postoperative complications. For the outcome variables studied, aprotinin administration was not identified as an independent risk factor.
