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.

I am sure she will be out shortly. PAO usually takes 4-5 but I am sure it feels like an eternity to the family waiting. It's the easiest part for the patient because we get to sleep through the whole thing. Thank you for updating us. I am sure there are a number of people waiting on news. Also I would love to send or bring flowers so let us know in a few days when she is receiving visitors.

Jim,
hopefully not long to go now, keep your 'pecker' up (head that is!!).
And hopefully speak to you later.
Give her a kiss from us when she comes round.
