Video Summary

In this video, a surgeon discusses their experience with a 16-year-old female gymnast who had hip pain. The patient had tried various treatments without success, and her imaging showed signs of hip dysplasia. The surgeon discusses different measurements and angles used to determine the severity of dysplasia and instability. They also discuss the importance of assessing patients for ligamentous instability during examinations. The surgeon explains their surgical approach, which included scoping the hip to assess the labrum and capsule and performing an osteoplasty. The patient initially had good results but experienced increased symptoms two years later. The surgeon then performed a periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), which successfully treated the patient's pain and allowed her to return to gymnastics. The surgeon emphasizes the need for individualized treatment approaches based on various factors such as patient age, symptoms, and sporting activities.
