Summary

This study looks at whether injecting numbing medicine around the surgical cut can lower pain and the need for strong painkillers after a hip-preserving surgery called periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). About 120 people aged 13 to 50 with hip dysplasia will be split into three groups: no numbing injection, injection after the cut is closed, or injection throughout the surgery. Researchers will track pain scores and painkiller use to find the best approach.
