Synopsis: This book sheds new light and comprehensively discusses all aspects of surgical hip dislocation (SHD), a surgical technique which has indeed granted access to areas not accessible with standard procedures, thus allowing intra-articular osteotomies. Filling a gap in literature, this book combines detailed anatomical knowledge – as a prerequisite to avoid iatrogenic complications – and practical guidance in order to successfully manage these complex techniques. Pioneers and renowned experts in the field share best practices, tips and tricks – from patient positioning to anesthesia and surgical steps – to achieve the maximal benefit for the patient and minimize any complication risk. Orthopedic surgeons and residents with an interest in surgical hip preservation will find this book to be an excellent, richly illustrated guide to the subject.
