GANZ OSTEOTOMY: ARE MODIFICATIONS TO THE SURGICAL EXPOSURE SAFE? – A REPORT OF EARLY EXPERIENCE



Abstract

Twelve patients ranging in age from 10 to 35 years have undergone 14 Ganz Osteotomies. The surgical approach used to define the anatomy is described and questions asked as to its safety with regard to the vascularity of the acetabular segment.

The complications encountered in the learning curve of this operation are described together with the early outcomes.

The abstracts were prepared by Professor A. J. Thurston. Correspondence should be addressed to him at the Department of Surgery, Wellington School of Medicine, PO Box 7343, Wellington South, New Zealand
