A periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is the preferred joint preserving treatment for
young adults with symptomatic hip dysplasia and no osteoarthritis. In symptomatic
dysplasia of the hip, there is labral pathology in up to 90% of cases. However,
no consensus exists as to whether a labral tear should be treated before the
periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), treated simultaneously with the PAO, or left
alone and only treated if symptoms persist after the PAO. This review is an
update of aspects of labral anatomy and function, the etiology of labral tears in
hip dysplasia, and diagnostic assessment of labral tears, and we discuss treatment strategies for coexisting labral tears and hip dysplasia.
