Official Title: Periacetabular Osteotomy With Versus Without Adjunctive Hip Arthroscopy for Intra-Articular Pathology in Hip Dysplasia: a Prospective Randomized Trial

Brief Summary: Although evidence is amassing regarding the role of intra-articular pathology in the surgical management of adolescents and adults with hip dysplasia, the optimal method of detection and especially management of this pathology remains unclear. No studies exist to compare clinical outcomes and hip survival between arthroscopy and arthrotomy in patients with mechanical hip pain undergoing periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for dysplasia, and this is what the investigators aim to achieve in the current prospective randomized surgical trial.
