The Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a widely used technique for the management of acetabular dysplasia and other hip deformities in adolescents and young adults. Originally, the approach was described with a release of both origins of the rectus femoris muscle 1 . In the more recently described rectus-sparing approach, both heads remain attached 2,3 . It has been proposed that this modification may decrease pain, ease postoperative rehabilitation, and avoid heterotopic ossifications, without limitations of the surgical overview.
