Figure 5 Three-dimensional MRI reconstruction illustrating the cartilage area within the acetabular weight-bearing zone (region of interest) after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) in a patient with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) (Mimics 16.0; Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Following periacetabular osteotomy of the right hip joint in a patient with developmental dysplasia of the hip, we identified the region of interest for measurement as the cartilage area within the acetabular weight-bearing zone, determined through 3-dimensional MRI reconstruction.
