Approaches to hip
ANTERIOR
LATERAL
POSTERIOR
MEDIAL
Approaches to acetabulum
ILIOINGUINAL
POSTERIOR
ANTERIOR APPROACH
INCISIONANTERIOR HALF OF ILIAC CREST TO ASIS CURVE THE INCISION DOWN SO THAT IT RUNS VERTICALLY FOR 8-10 CMS ALONG
THE LINE LATERAL TO PATELLA
INTERNERVOUS PLANESUPERFICIAL – B/W SARTORIUS – FEMORAL. N
AND TFL – SUPERIOR GLUTEAL NERVE
DEEP – RECTUS FEMORIS – FEMORAL. N
AND GLUTEUS MEDIUS – SUP. GLUTEAL NERVE
DANGERS1. LATERAL FEMORAL CUTANEOUS NERVE – 2.5
cms distal to ASIS, to be retracted medially
• RARELY FEMORAL NERVE- unlikely if deep dissection done in right plane since nerve is most lateral can get damaged
2. ASCENDING BRANCH OF LATERAL FEMORAL CIRCUMFLEX ARTERY – lies 5 cms distal to hip joint
Attachment of fascia lata to iliac crest difficult
Osteotomy of overhang of iliac crest is performed b/w ext. Oblique medially & fascia lata to as far as origin of g.maximus.
TFL, g.medius & g.minimus dissected subperiosteally to expose hip joint capsule.
Closure – iliac osteotomy fragment reattached with non-absorbable sutures through holes drilled.
TRANSVERSE ‘BIKINI’ INCISION – FROM AIIS TO ASIS COURSING OBLIQUELY SUPERIORLY & POSTERIORLY TO ILIAC CREST
REFLECTING ABDUCTOR → SARTORIUS & TFL→ REFLECTED HEAD OF RECTUS FEMORIS→ INCISION OF CAPSULE FROM RECTUS ANTERIORLY TO POSTEROSUPERIOUR MARGIN OF JOINT→ OPEN REDUCTION OF DDH
FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE MUSCLE SPARING TECHNIQUES FOR THR, ANTERIOR JOINT ARTHOTOMY
TWO FINGER BREADTH BELOW ASIS
EXTENDS DISTALLY FOR 8 CMS B/W TFL & SARTORIUS
CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY PALPATION
MAJOR DISADVANTAGE IS DAMAGE TO LAT. FEMORAL CUT N.
The approach is useful for reaming the acetabulum & is used as the acetabularapproach for 2-incision MIS approach for THR
Femoral preparation is done by using a fracture table with ipsilateral lower extremity in extended & externally rotated position
Lateral capsule must be released to ensure femur is delivered out of incison for preparation in THR esp if fracture table is not used.
Other steps are nearly the same.
INDICATIONS – THR
HEMIARTHOPLASTY HIP
ORIF OF FEMORAL NECK #
ORIF FEMORAL HEAD #
HIP ARTHOTOMY
INTRACAPSULAR BIOPSY
POSITIONSUPINE – CLOSE TO EDGE – BUTTOCK HANGS OVER – TILTING THE TABLE TO
OPP. SIDE
INCISIONFIG OF 4 (FLEX AND ADDUCT SO THAT THE LEG LIES OVER OPPOSITE KNEE) →8-15 cms INCISION
CENTERING ACROSS THE POSTERIOR THIRD OF GT
INTERNERVOUS PLANEINTERNERVOUS PLANE – NO TRUE INTERNERVOUS
PLANE AS BOTH TFL AND GLUTEUS MEDIUS SUPPLIED BY SUP GLUTEAL NERVE
Deep dissection – anterior flap consisting of gluteus medius, minimus & vastus lateralis; alternatively this can be done by osteotomy
Anterior Capsule exposed & capsulotomy performed release from femoral attachment and a ‘T’ into acetabular rim.
TROCHANTERIC OSTEOTOMY –ALLOWS COMPLETE MOBILISATION OF G.MEDIUS AND G.MINIMUS
BASE OF OSTEOTMY IS AT BASE OF VASTUS LATERALIS RIDGE
EITHER A SAW CAN BE USED OR TWO CUTS AT RIGHT ANGLE CAN BE MADE
THE LATTER TECHNIQUE – MAKES IT LIKE A ROOF OF SWISS CHALET, ↓BONE CONTACT AREA & MORE STABLE FIXATION
3 TYPES –
SIMPLE (CHARNLEY) TROCHANTERIC OSTEOTOMY –detaches in a way that allows proximal attachment of gluteus medius and minimus
TROCHANTERIC OSTEOTOMY IN CONTINUITY –leaving the attachment of gluteus mediusproximally & of vastus lateralis distally.
EXTENDED TROCHANTERIC OSTEOTOMY (REVISION THR) includes trochanter with the gluteus attachments but also extends distally to maintain attachment of vastus lateralis
PARTIAL DETACHMENT OF ABDUCTOR MECHANISM – A STAY SUTURE IN ANTERIOR PORTION OF G.MEDIUS AND CUTTING THIS PORTION OFF GT
G.MINIMUS TENDON BELOW IS INCISED
Posteriorly styloid to which piriformis attaches is identified. A 40-50 mm osteotome is driven from trochanteric crest to and through styloid process
Reattached with monofilament no.14 through bone & distributed vertically & transversely or claws are used
Trochanter is freed of soft tissue posteriorly & short rotators released, saw seperates the GT with attachments of G.medius & minimus proximally & vastus lateralis distally, fragment is mobilised from posterior to anterior
Involves posterior lateral one third of the circumference of femur.
Posteriorly gluteus musculature is identified & trochanter is osteotomisedalong linea asperaSeries of drill holes are used to allow osteotomy to hinge anteriorly.
Transverse cut is made at the level of holes. Segment elevated anteriorly with vastus attachment remaining intact
At completion trochanter is reduced to its original bed & sutured with at least three circumferential monofilament wires.
FEMORAL N. – most laterally placed in femoral triangle, Not flexing the hip after dissecting uptoanterior rim of acetabulumPlacing retractors into substance of iliopsoasOr overexuberant retraction can damage it..
VESSELS – FEMORAL ARTERY & VEIN –damaged by acetabular retractors that penetrate iliopsoas substance.Anterior retractors (R) – 1-o` clock position
(L) – 11-o` clock position
PROFUNDA FEMORIS ARTERY
FEMORAL SHAFT# - while hip dislocation espif inadequate capsular release
1. To use a skid while dislcoating femur head out of acetabulum
2. In severe protrusio – osteotomise the rim
3. If extreme force has to be used – double osteotomy at neck
4. Too far incision of fascia lata anteriorlyresist adduction→thus fascia lata incised initially at posterior border of GT.
Antero-lateral Watson-Jones approach – TFL & gluteus medius is seperated mid-way between ASIS & GT.
In Harris lateral approach – GT osteotomydone – risks are trochanteric non-union, trochanteric bursitis, heterotopic ossification.
In McFarland & Osborne lateral approach, combined mass of g.medius & vastus lateraliswith their tendinous junction is elevated & retracted anteriorly.
In Hardinge lateral transgluteal approach the strong mobile tendon of gluteus medius is incised obliquely across GT leaving posterior half still attached to GT.
Frndak et. al modified this approach by placing abductor split 2 cms more anterior, directly over femoral head & neck.
Gibson’s posterolateral approach – iliotibial band is incised along with its fibres, gluteus medius & minimus are divided at their insertions leaving enough tendon attached so that closure is easy & post-op rehabilitationis rapid
POSITIONING – Supine with a bolster under ipsilateral buttock.
DANGERS – NERVES – lateral femoral cutaneous n.
Femoral n. – from retraction
VESSELS – anterior branch of lateral femoral circumflex.
BONE – iatrogenic femur #
Component malposition
LANDMARKS – UNDER FLOUROSCOPIC ALONG FEMUR NECK AXIS FROM HEAD & NECK JUNCTION TO THE BASE4cm
LEG ADDUCTED IN LATERAL BUTTOCK REGION IN LINE WITH PIRIFORMIS FOSSA TO PROX SHAFT FEMUR
The rest of approach similar to anterior approach
Approach to femur uses blunt dissection through posterior incision. Femur is broached keeping abductors anterior to broach & piriformis posterior
INDICATIONS – TOTAL HIP ARTHOPLASTY
HEMIARTHOPLASTY HIP
POSTERIOR WALL AND COLUMN ACETABULAR # ORIF
OPEN REDUCTION OF POST HIP DISLOCATIONS
HIP ARTHOTOMY
PEDICLE BONE GRAFTING
Ideally suited for resection arthopasty&insertion of proximal femoral prosthesis.
Medial circumflex artery should be preserved in hip resurfacing arthoplasty or fracture repair
Do not interfere with abductor mechanism→ immediate post-op rehabilitation fast.
Higher dislocation rate if used in # NOF in elderly patients.
POSITIONING
LATERAL DECUBITUS WITH AN AXILLARY ROLL
KIDNEY RESTS ARE USED AND ALL BONY PROMINENCES ARE PADDED
DANGERS – NERVES – SCIATIC NERVE – from direct injury or retraction or duing repair of external rotators and capsule when closing
FEMORAL NERVE – from retraction and displacement of proximal femur during reaming of the acetabulum or retractor placement
OBTURATOR N. – retractors
VESSELS – INF. GLUTEAL ARTERY – direct injury or retraction
MEDIAL FEMORAL CIRCUMFLEX – during takedown of external rotators from bone of posterior proximal femur
OBTURATOR ARTERY – retractor in inferior aspect of acetabulum.
LANDMARKS
GT,SHAFT OF PROXIMAL FEMUR
Curved incision 12-16cms in length with the apex centered at posterior aspect of trochanter starting on the lateral aspect of
proximal femur.
DEEP DISSECTION –G.Maximus cut in line with its fibres
Gluteus medius released from crest of trochanter →short rotators exposed
Internally rotate the lower extremity at the hip to aid exposure of external rotator tendons
Posterior joint Capsule incised to expose head & neck
Closure is extremly important with posterior exposure to lessen possibility of dislocation
Short rotators are retrieved and are then reattached through bone holes in the posterior margin of trochanterin the region of anatomic attachment
As with other limited exposures, special retractors are used
7-10 cms posterior incison –along post.border of GT extending from tip to tubercle of vastus lateralis ridge.
