aPeak values are reported as mean values and standard deviation. Differences between the outcomes before and after PAO were tested with paired t-test and are reported as mean differences (95% CI). Differences between patients and healthy controls were tested with unpaired t-test.

bSignificantly different compared with the healthy controls.

PAO: periacetabular osteotomy; A1: peak plantar flexion in the first half of the stance phase; A2: peak dorsiflexion in the second half of the stance phase; K1: extension at heel strike; K2: peak flexion in the first half of the stance phase; K3: peak extension in the second half of the stance phase; H1: peak extension.
