Surgical dislocation of the adult hip a technique with full access to the femoral head and acetabulum without the risk of avascular necrosis. (2001, methodology): “With the posterior approach, tenomyotomy of the external rotator muscles is necessary, which interrupts the anastomosis between the inferior gluteal artery and the deep branch of the MFCA.”
Anterior Femoroacetabular Impingement: Part II. Midterm Results of Surgical Treatment (2004, background): “This allows full protection of the vascular supply of the femoral head.(9) After doing a Z-shaped capsulotomy, the hip is exposed and is examined for impingement.”
Femoroacetabular impingement: a cause for osteoarthritis of the hip. (2003, background): “This allows full protection of the vascular supply of the femoral head.(8) After doing a Z-shaped capsulotomy, the hip is exposed and examined in detail.”
