From: Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO): from its local inception to its worldwide adoption
All osteotomies from anterior and the inner side of the pelvis (preserved acetabular blood supply, unlimited intracapsular surgery, unaltered abductors) |
Intact posterior column (hemipelvis stable, sacropelvic ligaments excluded, birth canal unchanged, sciatic nerve protected) |
Patient supine, one approach (time saving, position optimal for intraoperative fluoro and control x-ray) |
