The transgluteal approach to the hip joint

R Bauer et al. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg (1978). 1979 Oct.

Abstract

A modified transgluteal approach to the hip joint without osteotomy of the trochanter is described. The advantage of this approach is a better view of the acetabular rim, prevention of gluteal muscle damage and protection of the superior gluteal nerve.
