This document discusses the Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (BPO) procedure for treating hip dysplasia. The BPO was developed in 1984 to reorient the acetabulum and increase hip contact area and stability through a minimally invasive technique. Studies have shown good functional outcomes following BPO, with 18 out of 24 patients in one study showing a high functional level at a mean 3.5 years post-op. Another study found that 14 out of 26 patients who underwent unilateral BPOs had no or mild arthritis at 7-15 years post-op. The BPO allows for appropriate correction of hip coverage while maintaining version and causes less damage than other procedures.
