Bernese Periacetabular Osteotomy in a Young Adult with an Ipsilateral Renal Transplant: A Case Report

An eighteen-year-old woman was referred to our center because of left groin pain and was diagnosed with acetabular dysplasia. The proposed treatment was a Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). The patient had undergone two renal transplants due to polycystic kidney disease; the current, functional kidney was at the lateral inguinal fossa on the left side. The patient was on chronic immunosuppressants and antihypertensive therapy.

The present case shows that PAO can be a safe procedure with good outcomes even in patients who have undergone renal transplantation.
