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.

Jim - Rache will be proud to see you eating the fish fillet as i know it's her favorite.
So glad to hear all went well and that you'll get to see her soon.
Please give her a big hug from Alan and me! We'll see her/you as soon as we land back in ATL on Sunday.
McSurf-n-Turf. It doesn't get much better than that.
