Biomechanical Factors in Planning of Periacetabular Osteotomy

Biomechanical Factors in Planning of Periacetabular Osteotomy

This study addresses the effects of cartilage thickness distribution and compressive properties in the context of optimal alignment planning for periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). The Biomechanical Guidance System (BGS) is a computer-assisted surgical suite assisting surgeon’s in determining the most...
