Ischiofemoral “V” Arthrodesis of the Hip Joint Posterior Approach

Ischio-femoral arthrodesis of the hip by posterior open approach.

I have been much impressed by the rapidity and solidity of the extra-articular fusion of the hip joint that develops after osteotomy of the upper femoral shaft with insertion between the cut femoral surfaces of a strong and wide tibial graft which is driven into the ischium, as described by Brittain (1942). During the years 1942-44 I carried out the procedure described by Trumble (1937). A tibi...

Modified posterior approach to the hip joint

This modification was developed in1981 by Cadaveric Tests prior to clinical application in patients, and this was primarily devised anatomically to decrease dislocations of the Hip Joint. Here the bone over the greater trochanter was osteotoimised at it posterior overhanging part to provide for access to the Hip Joint, which was resutured using 2 stainless steel wires In order to reconstitute t...

Technical Note on Modified Posterior Approach to the Hip Joint

INTRODUCTION The posterior approach is the most commonly and relatively easy to be used to expose the hip joint. Posterior approaches allow excellent visualization of the entire acetabulum and the upper femoral shaft, and thus they are popular for revision joint replacement surgery particularly in cases where only the femoral component needs to be replaced. There may be a higher dislocation rat...
