Triple Pelvic Osteotomy Treatment in Turkey
About Triple Pelvic Osteotomy
Key Highlights
-
Joint-preserving surgery designed to delay or avoid the need for a total hip replacement in young patients.Improves hip stability and biomechanics by reorienting the socket for better coverage of the femoral head.Effectively reduces pain and improves mobility and function.Aims to prevent the progression of early osteoarthritis caused by hip dysplasia.Can significantly improve quality of life and activity levels in adolescents and young adults.
Who is this surgery for?
- Symptomatic hip dysplasia (shallow hip socket) in skeletally mature adolescents and young adults (typically ages 10-30).
- Persistent hip pain and instability that limits daily activities and does not respond to conservative treatments like physical therapy.
- Radiographic evidence of insufficient acetabular coverage (e.g., low center-edge angle) with a congruent joint.
- To prevent or treat early secondary osteoarthritis of the hip due to dysplasia.
- Patients with good range of motion and no significant pre-existing arthritis are ideal candidates.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive evaluation including detailed medical history, physical exam, and imaging (X-rays, CT scan) to plan the bone cuts.
- Pre-operative counseling to set realistic expectations about the surgery, recovery timeline, and long-term outcomes.
- Discontinuation of certain medications (e.g., blood thinners, NSAIDs) as advised by the surgeon.
- Pre-operative blood tests, ECG, and other assessments to ensure fitness for major surgery.
- Arranging for post-operative support at home and planning for an extended recovery period with limited mobility.
Risks & possible complications
- General surgical risks: Infection, bleeding, blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
- Nerve or blood vessel injury around the hip, potentially causing numbness, weakness, or altered sensation.
- Non-union or delayed union of the osteotomy sites, where the bones fail to heal properly.
- Over-correction or under-correction of the socket position, which may require further surgery.
- Heterotopic ossification (abnormal bone growth in soft tissues).
- Persistent pain, stiffness, or development of arthritis despite the surgery.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Hospital stay of 3-5 days for pain management, monitoring, and initiation of physical therapy.
- Strict non-weight bearing on the operated leg for 6-8 weeks, requiring the use of crutches or a walker.
- A structured physical therapy program begins immediately after surgery to maintain range of motion and progresses to strengthening.
- Gradual transition to partial and then full weight-bearing over 3-4 months, guided by X-ray confirmation of bone healing.
- Full recovery and return to sports or high-impact activities can take 6 months to a year. Regular follow-up visits are essential to monitor healing.

Sophia Patel is a 16-year-old high school soccer player with dreams of playing in college. She has always been active but began experiencing a deep, aching pain in her right hip during and after games about two years ago. The pain progressed to a constant dull ache and a noticeable limp, forcing her to quit the team. After seeing her pediatrician and then an orthopedic specialist, imaging revealed severe hip dysplasia, a shallow hip socket that was causing premature wear and tear. Her doctor explained that without intervention, she would likely develop debilitating arthritis in her 20s. The recommendation was a Triple Pelvic Osteotomy (TPO) to surgically reorient her hip socket for better coverage and stability. The surgery was intense, followed by two days in the hospital managing pain. The emotional journey was a rollercoaster; before surgery, Sophia felt isolated and grief-stricken over losing her sport and her identity as an athlete. She was terrified the surgery wouldn't work. The recovery was long and grueling, 12 weeks on crutches, months of physical therapy to rebuild strength. A year post-op, her hip is stable and pain-free. She's not back to competitive soccer yet, but she can run, hike, and live an active life without pain. The relief is profound; she feels hopeful about her future again and has discovered a resilience she didn't know she had.
