Computer-assisted anteverting eccentric rotational acetabular osteotomy for recurrent posterior dislocation associated with acetabular retroversion: a case report

Background Acetabular retroversion is a rotatory abnormality of the entire hemipelvis that includes anterior over-coverage and posterior deficiency of the acetabulum, and is associated with pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement and posterior hip instability. Acetabular retroversion is thought to cause posterior dislocation of the hip in athletes due to both the pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement and posterior hip instability.
