Can surface landmarks help us identify the gibson interval during surgical hip dislocation: a study of 617 hips.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The Gibson approach, used in hip-preserving surgery, is intermuscular and develops the space anteriorly to the gluteus maximus. Reliable anatomical landmarks for the development of this interval do not exist, but the interval is marked by perforating vessels (PV) of the inferior gluteal artery. The aim of this study was to provide reference values for the relationship between palpable anatomical landmarks on the femur/pelvis and the anterior border of the gluteus maximus using CT scans of the proximal femur.

Materials and methods

Single center retrospective study of 617 hips who underwent a CT-scan of the pelvis/femur. We defined 5 anatomical markers on the pelvis and proximal femur and measured the distance of the anterior border of the gluteus maximus in relat
