Safe Surgerical Dislocation - Approach to the hip joint . Based on detailed study of the blood supply to the hip joint . Involve dislocation of hip joint without compromise of femur head vascularity .
Original Article -
Vascular Anatomy 90 % from Medial Circumflex femoral artery [MCFA] , main blood supply to weight bearing portion of femoral head . 10% from LCFA & artery to ligamentum teres
Indication - FAI SCFE Femur head # Acetabular # - superior wall extension Femoral head reshaping osteotomy
