Pelvis/Hip Approaches Flashcards
position for anterior approach to iliac crest
supine, bump under operative side
incision for anterior approach to iliac crest
8 cm, centred along crest, centred on iliac tubercle
plane for anterior approach to iliac crest
no muscles cross the iliac crest
superficial dissection for anterior approach to iliac crest
along crest subcutaneously
deep dissection for anterior approach to iliac crest
strip glut med and glut min from bone
danger (2) for anterior approach to iliac crest
- ASIS insertion of inguinal ligament 2. crest of ilium should be left for cosmesis
position for posterior approach to iliac crest
prone, with gluteal cleft and PSIS exposed
incision for posterior approach to iliac crest
8 cm, centred over PSIS along crest
plane for posterior approach to iliac crest
no muscles cross the crest
superficial dissection for posterior approach to iliac crest
subcutaneous along iliac crest
deep dissection for posterior approach to iliac crest
-strip glut max to gluteal line -follow over the other side of gluteal line to strip glut med
danger (3) for posterior approach to iliac crest
- cluneal nerves start 8 cm lateral to PSIS 2. sciatic nerve if you go too far inferior to sciatic notch 3. superior gluteal artery travels by the sciatic notch, proximal to piriformis
position for anterior approach to pubic symphysis
supine with catheter in
incision for anterior approach to pubic symphysis
15 cm incision centred over symphysis and 1 cm rostral to symphysis and superior rami
plane for anterior approach to pubic symphysis
segmental innervation of rectus abdominus spares it
superficial dissection for anterior approach to pubic symphysis
-open subcutaneous to rectus sheath -ligate superficial epigastric artery/vein -divide rectus sheath 1 cm rostral to bone -divide rectus abdominus 1 cm rostral to insertion and retract
deep dissection for anterior approach to pubic symphysis
-use blunt dissection to open space of Retzius
danger (1) for anterior approach to pubic symphysis
- bladder
position for anterior approach to SI joint
supine, bump under operative side with 20° table tilt away
incision for anterior approach to SI joint
curved 7 cm incision from iliac tubercle to ASIS, continued along inguinal ligament if necessary
plane for anterior approach to SI joint
no muscles cross the crest
superficial dissection for anterior approach to SI joint
-strip 1 cm of gluts and TFL -incise periosteum or anterior third of iliac crest -saw the iliac crest -crack inner cortex -detach ASIS
deep dissection for anterior approach to SI joint
-mobilize iliacus and move medial with the bone you released from ASIS/crest
danger (3) for anterior approach to SI joint
- LFCN arises 2 cm distal to ASIS and is often sacrificed in this approach
- sacral nerve roots if: i) go too medial with dissection; ii) put a homan in a foramina; iii) put more than 1 screw in the anterior sacrum
- large nutrient vessels enter the anterior ileum - use bone wax
position for posterior approach to the SI joint
prone
incision for posterior approach to the SI joint
3 cm distal and lateral to PSIS following the curve of the iliac crest to its highest point
plane for posterior approach to the SI joint
none
superficial dissection for posterior approach to the SI joint
-detach and reflect glut max
