Straight lateral incision
Flip trochanteric osteotomy
Dissect capsular tissues/scar off ant neck
Remove scar from TAL to labrum
Capsulotomy vs capsulectomy
Circumferential mobilization peri-acetabular tissues
Evert the labrum (may need to section 3-4 places)
Reduce hip
+- Femoral shortening if difficult reduction
4.5mm Screws to refix trochanteric osteotomy, aim at
lesser troch

PostOp Protocol
32.
Troch Flip Osteotomy gives powerful exposure to
acetabulum and femoral head
1-1.5cm thick
Digastric: vastus distal, abductors proximal
Blood supply (MFCA) runs deep to Obturator Externus
Remove scar starting at TAL/pulvinar
Section Labrum to evert
