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...

We describe a modified lateral approach to the hip which exploits the function continuity of gluteus medius and vastus lateralis and their dense crescentic attachment to the greater trochanter. The gluteus medius is not incised or split, but is detached and mobilised with gluteus minimus as one unit. This facilitates reattachment of the glutei and helps to preserve abductor function.

We report a case of a 53 year old female with breast cancer and elevated glucose activity at the left greater trochanter on PET imaging. Further imaging with CT and MRI showed that this focus of increased FDG activity on PET was calcific tendinosis of the gluteus medius tendon, which mimicked metastatic disease in this patient.

Background: Bisphosphonates (BPs) are used extensively for managing the osteoporosis. There are some controversies on atypical fractures of femur that associated with increase in cortical thickness (CT) and BPs’ use. In this study, the effects of alendronate consumption were studied on femoral CT as a predictor for atypical fracture.   Methods: Forty nine post-menopausal women age...

The objective of this study was to describe the footprint location of the iliopsoas tendon on the lesser trochanter to clarify the surgical implications of the lesser trochanterplasty for treating ischiofemoral impingement. Ten non-matched, fresh-frozen, cadaveric hemipelvis specimens (average age, 62.4 years; range, 48-84 years; 7 male and 3 female) were included. Registered measures included ...
