Surgery Info

Dr. Kevin Scheid will be the Dr. preforming the operations. The first surgery will be Friday, January 8th 2010 at 10:30am. The second Surgery is September 21st 2010 at 8am.

Congenital hip dysplasia is an abnormal formation of the hip joint in which the ball at the top of the thighbone (femoral head) is not stable in the socket (acetabulum). Also, the ligaments of the hip joint may be loose and stretched. The degree of instability or looseness varies. A baby born with DDH may have the ball of his or her hip loosely in the socket, the looseness may worsen as the child grows and becomes more active, or the ball may be completely dislocated at birth.
Left untreated, DDH or Congenital hip dysplasia leads to pain and osteoarthritis by early adulthood. Also it only occurs in about 1 in 1,000 births.
So it's something i was born with but just wasn't caught at birth.. Whats different in my case is my femur has been slightly flattened so rotating the cup will be a little harder than on someone else having the surgery.

A periacetabular Osteotomy- "Periacetabular" means around the acetabulum. "Osteotomy" means to cut bone. In PAO, the patient's own joint is surgically altered to create a broader load-bearing surface. During the surgery, the acetabulum is sawed apart from the rest of the pelvis, in a few places and is repositioned to cover the head of the femur, and secured with metal hardware. If necessary, the head of the femur is repositioned by surgery on the femoral neck.
