The “Inside-Out” Anterior Osteotomy of the Proximal Femur via the Direct Anterior Approach in Revision Hip Arthroplasty
The “Inside-Out” Anterior Osteotomy of the Proximal Femur via the Direct Anterior Approach in Revision Hip Arthroplasty
We describe an anterior proximal femur osteotomy technique starting from the inside of the femoral canal at the bone-implant interface and heading outward. The technique is used in conjunction with the extended direct anterior approach and allows direct access to and visualization of the anterior, medial, and lateral bone-implant interfaces.
