Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: A modification of the technique for performing the Bernese periacetabular osteotomy is described. Materials and methods: A medial approach to the Ischium and a subtle re-orientation of the pubic osteotomy are detailed. Conclusion: Surgical morbidity is likely decreased with a concurrent cosmetic advantage without compromise to surgical correction or patient safety.
