Our study on patients who had undergone a Ganz periacetabular osteotomy aimed to radiologically examine the amount of femoral head coverage post osteotomy, and to research the effects on clinical function and the development of osteoarthritis. The study comprised 13 hips on which Ganz periacetabular osteotomy had been performed between May 2003 and March 2008, from 12 patients diagnosed with acetabular dysplasia. One patient was not included in the evaluation because of infection. All patients had pre and postoperative AP pelvis radiographs showing the amount of femoral head coverage, and measurements were taken of anterior and posterior femoral head coverage, CE angle, length difference, and the difference in the sagittal and horizontal plane of the teardrop. The degeneration of the hip joint was evaluated according to the Tonnis Hip Classification and function by Harris Hip Score. The differences in CE angle, amount of femoral head coverage, amount of anterior coverage and Harris Hip Score were found to be statistically significant. In conclusion, a significant decrease in hip pain was observed in patients who had undergone a Ganz periacetabular osteotomy. The increase in femoral head coverage creates a biomechanically better functioning hip thus enhancing the quality of life for the patient, therefore Ganz periacetabular osteotomy can be considered an effective technique.
