Abstract

Periacetabular osteotomy includes a fluoroscopy-guided ischial cut without direct visualization. Previously described techniques include a mediolateral ischial cortex cut, which is associated with the risk of injuring nearby nerves. Another drawback of that technique is the difficulty connecting an ischial cortex cut with a retroacetabular cut due to orthogonal nature of the osteotomy. In general, an additional cut from medial to lateral is required. The present study aimed to describe a technique that eliminates those problems due to use of only a central cut of the ischium and the curved nature of the osteotomy.
