Case: Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome (WDSTS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with many phenotypic characteristics, including multiple orthopaedic manifestations. Of these, symptomatic significant hip dysplasia has been variably noted. Nonetheless, few reports detail surgical treatment for these patients, including hip preservation for those with hip dysplasia. Conclusion: Periacetabular osteotomy allows for the correction of severe hip dysplasia in patients with WDSTS. With proper recognition and timely intervention, adequate care may be provided for these patients.
