A WSW sign was identified on plain films as a concave or flat osteochondral defect on the anterolateral femoral head extending medial to the head\u2010neck junction with resultant loss of femoral head sphericity in the native hip. Every patient underwent a standardized series of radiographs, as well as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. All patients underwent arthroscopy before PAO to address intra\u2010articular pathology and other indicated procedures. The osteochondral defect and resultant suction seal disruption were verified during arthroscopy. These patients were then compared with a control group of arthroscopically treated hips without hip instability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 250 patients reviewed, a total of 19 hips in 17 patients (prevalence of 7.6%) demonstrated radiographic evidence of the WSW sign. All patients with a WSW sign presented with symptomatic clinical hip instability requiring a PAO. The mean patient age was 31.2 years, with a mean lateral center\u2010edge angle (LCEA) of 14.3\u00b0. There were 13 hips (68.4%) with dysplasia, 4 (21.1%) with borderline dysplasia, and 2 (10.5%) with a normal LCEA. All patients with a WSW sign and LCEA \u2265 20\u00b0 displayed significant femoral antetorsion abnormalities. All arthroscopic videos and images demonstrated a compromised suction seal. Of the 50 control group hips reviewed, the WSW sign was not identified.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The WSW sign is an uncommon radiographic finding in patients with hip instability.
