Hip dysplasia is a complex problem that exists on a spectrum from mild to severe disease. Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) remains the gold standard for most patients with dysplasia; however, the procedure is quite invasive making the decision to proceed in cases of mild disease difficult. Hip arthroscopy (HA) is an alternative minimally invasive technique that can be used to address mild dysplasia. Nevertheless, HA has less capability for correction and in rare instances can exacerbate instability in the dysplastic hip. There is a paucity of data examining outcomes between these two treatment strategies for this challenging problem.
