Sara Reddy, a 32-year-old architect and...
Sara Reddy, a 32-year-old architect and avid runner, had been living with a dull, persistent ache in her right groin for over two years. Initially dismissed as muscle strain, the pain worsened during long hours at her drafting table and made her beloved weekend runs unbearable. X-rays revealed she had hip dysplasia, a shallow hip socket she was born with, that was causing early cartilage wear and arthritis. Her orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Evans, explained that at her young age, a total hip replacement was too drastic. Instead, he recommended a periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), a procedure to carefully cut and reposition her hip socket to better cover the ball of the femur, relieving pressure and preserving her natural joint. The surgery was complex and the initial recovery was tough; Sara spent weeks on crutches, grappling with frustration and dependence. However, through dedicated physical therapy, she gradually regained strength. A year later, Sara is pain-free, back to hiking, and filled with relief and optimism. Her emotional journey took her from fearing her active life was over to feeling empowered, having chosen a proactive solution that gave her a second chance at mobility.
