Pemberton Osteotomy for Acetabular Dysplasia.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

We have performed open reduction with Pemberton osteotomy, as our primary treatment method for developmental dysplasia of the hip, in more than 550 patients at our institution since 1993.

Step 1 exposure

With the patient supine, make an anterior iliofemoral incision that is not directly on the iliac crest, dissect the subcutaneous tissue in the line of the incision, expose the iliac crest, and divide the cartilage at the iliac crest.

Step 2 perform iliopsoas tenotomy

Identify the rectus femoris tendon, release the iliopsoas muscle, and identify the acetabulum-hip capsule junction.

Step 3 perform open reduction and osteotomy

Perform an open reduction, check hip stability, make medial and lateral cut lines, and complete the osteotomy.
