Comment: This material would be better suited to being added to the section Osteotomy § Osteotomies of the hip. I suggest starting there. Then, if that section starts to become large enough that a separate article is needed it can always be WP:Split at a later date. Mgp28 (talk) 14:52, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Comment: Thanks for creating the draft. It can be accepted once a bit more information with 1-2 more citations are added. Currently, it's a stub (very short) draft. This type of article does not provide much value to the readers. Can you expand it a little bit? Once done, you can reply to this or leave a message at my talk page. Regards.

Periacetabular osteotomy is an orthopedic surgical procedure performed on individuals with deformities in their hip joints. Such deformities are most often due to hip dysplasia, Legg-Calve Perthes disease, femeroacetabular impingement, or slipped capital femoral epiphysis.[1] As it is less invasive and typically easier to recover from than a total hip replacement, PAO is typically performed on younger patients (on average under 40) who do not have significant cartilage damage or labral tears.[2]
Procedure
[edit]When a periacetabular osteotomy is performed, patients are placed under anesthesia, as the surgery typically lasts between 6 and 9 hours. An incision is made, roughly 6 to 8 inches long, along the side of the hip. Then, the surgeon uses x-ray (fluoroscopy) guidance to cut through the pubic bone, the Ilium, and the Ischium. After these cuts are made, the acetabulum is reoriented to a healthy angle and fixed in place using screws and, if needed, bone grafts. Finally, the incision is stitched closed, and the patient is sent to recovery.[3]
