JBJS Case Connect. 2016 Jan 27;6(1):e5. doi: 10.2106/JBJS.CC.O.00105.

Abstract

Case: An eighteen-year-old woman was referred to our center because of left groin pain and was diagnosed with acetabular dysplasia. The proposed treatment was a Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). The patient had undergone two renal transplants due to polycystic kidney disease; the current, functional kidney was at the lateral inguinal fossa on the left side. The patient was on chronic immunosuppressants and antihypertensive therapy.

Conclusion: The present case shows that PAO can be a safe procedure with good outcomes even in patients who have undergone renal transplantation.
