Ischial and pubic osteotomies performed by medial approach during periacetabular osteotomies: an anatomical study
Abstract
Methods: The study included 20 hemipelvises of 10 formaldehyde-fixed cadavers. A medial surgical approach between the adductor longus and pectineus muscles was used, while protecting the obturator artery and nerve. The superior pubic ramus was subperiostally exposed to identify the anterior border of the anterior obturator tubercle and the projection point of the highest point of the obturator sulcus on the obturator crest as the two landmarks of pubic bone osteotomy. The line connecting the inferior border of the posterior obturator tubercle and the highest point of the ischial spine on the ischial bone was determined as the osteotomy line. Posterior dissection was carried out to measure the distance from the ischial osteotomy to the pudendal neurovascular structures. All measurements were performed using a digital caliper.
Results: The mean distance from the obturator sulcus to the obturator nerve was 15.3 (range: 8.1 to 30.5) mm. The mean distance from the anterior obturator tubercle to the obturator nerve was 34.3 (range: 27.1 to 49.5) mm and to the obturator artery was 38.5 (range: 29.4 to 51.1) mm. The mean distance from the ischial osteotomy to the pudendal neurovascular structures was 13.6 (range: 11.2 to 17.6) mm.
Conclusion: The ‘pubic osteotomy line’ connecting the anterior obturator tubercle and obturator crest, and the inferior border of the posterior obturator tubercle (the starting point of the ischial osteotomy line) can be approached and visualized safely using a medial incision in Bernese periacetabular osteotomy
