What is Triple Pelvic Osteotomy?
Triple Pelvic Osteotomy (TPO) is an operation used to correct a shallow or abnormally directed hip socket, a condition known as acetabular dysplasia. TPO is sometimes also used for the treatment of other conditions which predispose to developing osteoarthritis of the hip joint. The ‘Interlocking’ TPO which I perform was designed and developed by Mr John O’Hara, an Orthopaedic Surgeon who practices in Birmingham, England.
