Acetabuloplasty is a surgical procedure used to reshape the hip socket (acetabulum) in order to improve hip joint stability and function. The procedure is typically performed on patients with hip dysplasia or other conditions that cause the hip joint to be unstable or dislocate easily. During the procedure, the surgeon will remove a portion of the bone around the hip socket and reshape it to better fit the femoral head (the ball-shaped top of the thigh bone). This allows the joint to move more smoothly and reduces the risk of dislocation. The surgery can be done using traditional open techniques or minimally invasive methods, depending on the patient’s specific needs. Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few months. Acetabuloplasty is a relatively safe and effective procedure that can greatly improve hip function and quality of life for those who undergo it.
