This is my story about living with hip dysplasia and recovering from periacetabular osteotomy surgery.
About Me

PAO Definition
"Periacetabular" means around the acetabulum. "Osteotomy" means to cut bone. Simply put, the PAO cuts the bone around the acetabulum that joins the acetabulum to the pelvis. Once the acetabulum is detached from the rest of the pelvis by a series of carefully controlled cuts, it is rotated to a position of ideal coverage as dictated by the specific acetabulum's unique anatomy.

Congrats to you too!!I am going to do the Disney Princess 1/2 next year.... and am actually debating whether or not to do next month!! They are 88% full right now!!
(Who says you can't do things after PAO?!?!)
I did email Dr Millis to tell him....
Congratulations on finishing a 1/2 Marathon! You are an inspiration... I am 2 months post LPAO and keep hearing that I'll never run again! It's good to know that it still might be possible for me...
I love your story. My 16 year old daughter has been recommended for PAO by Dr. Millis this coming August. She is understandably anxious and nervous about the procedure as are my wife and I. I think she will feel relieved after reading your story.
Well done! Its been great reading your blog, I had RPAO 12 weeks ago and hearing of your success gives me hope!!
