What is a Pemberton osteotomy?

What is a Pemberton osteotomy?

Pemberton osteotomy is the treatment of choice for bilateral, moderate to severe hip dysplasia in children under 6 years old. In this procedure, the acetabulum is rotated down through the triradiate cartilage to change the direction and increase the depth of the socket.

What is a Ganz procedure?

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), also called Bernese or Ganz Osteotomy, is a hip preservation surgery performed to correct a hip problem that a child is born with or that develops over time (developmental deformity of the hip).

What is salvage osteotomy?

Salvage osteotomy is indicated for an incongruently reduced hip joint or a painful joint in which the remaining cartilage is not sufficient to allow it to be brought over the weightbearing position by any of the previously mentioned redirectional or reshaping osteotomies.

What is steel osteotomy?

After exposure of the pelvic bone, a surgical cut is made in the bone just above the acetabulum. Then the lower part of the pelvis is bent downwards to form a well-defined cup that covers the femoral head. A bone graft is placed over the space created by osteotomy in the pelvis. Steel Osteotomy.

What is a San Diego Acetabuloplasty?

As originally described, the San Diego acetabuloplasty utilizes a cut through the anterior inferior iliac spine anteriorly and the sciatic notch posteriorly. This is extended through the outer cortex of the ilium, however, the medial cortex of the ilium remains intact.

What is varus Derotational osteotomy?

When a hip starts to move out of joint, the ball (head of the femur) is no longer pointing directly into the socket (acetabulum). A varus derotation osteotomy (VDRO) may be done to place the ball back into the socket.

What is developmental dysplasia?

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a condition where the “ball and socket” joint of the hip does not properly form in babies and young children. It’s sometimes called congenital dislocation of the hip, or hip dysplasia. The hip joint attaches the thigh bone (femur) to the pelvis.

What is Triradiate cartilage?

The triradiate cartilage is the Y- shaped epiphyseal plate that occurs at the junction where the ischium, ilium, and pubis meet in the skeletally immature skeleton. The vertical component of the “Y” is the meeting of the ischium and pubic bone. The anterior arm is the junction of the ilium and pubis.

How painful is a femoral osteotomy?

Your child won’t feel pain during the surgery. A surgeon makes a cut along your child’s femur near the hip joint. The surgeon uses X-rays to confirm where he or she will cut out a small part of the femur. The surgeon cuts the femur with a tool called an osteotome.
