My hip-tastic journey through the PAO universe
Periacetabular Osteotomy. The mother of all hip surgeries. A procedure that cuts the hip socket out of the pelvis to allow the the socket to be repositioned and then screwed back into place. This allows the ball & socket to move fluidly, preventing cartilage damage and preserving the joint in patients with faulty hips. The PAO preserves & enhances the patient's own hip, not replacing it with artificial parts like a hip replacement.

Rachel,
I had RPAO 9 weeks ago in Boston with Dr Millis. I am using a cane (most of the time). I wish I had started my blog earlier (I started it a month into recovery). Good luck with all of your pre-op appts, mri's, ct scans, x-rays.....!!

Hi Rachel,
Just wanted to tell you that I'm following your blog. I've had six months to prepare for my surgery, so I know how you're going to feel in about three months, and again in five months, as you wait: utterly impatient! Glad you got the the date set. Lots of luck to you!
