Hip dysplasia is the medical term for a hip socket that doesn't fully cover the ball portion of the upper thighbone. A condition more common in women, if left untreated, a hip replacement is usually necessary. But new treatment - a periacetabular osteotomy can help patients avoid a full hip replacement.
