Treatment of Concomitant Intra-articular Pathology and Hip Dysplasia With Combined Hip Arthroscopy and Periacetabular Osteotomy Using a Single Radiolucent Traction Table Attachment Without a Perineal Post

Abstract

Combined hip arthroscopy and periacetabular osteotomy are used for the treatment of concomitant intra-articular hip pathology and acetabular dysplasia or instability. Traditionally, the procedure has been achieved with the use of a traction table or table attachment for the arthroscopic portion and then subsequent transfer of the patient to a fully radiolucent flat bed. In this article, we highlight the technique of a combined hip arthroscopy and periacetabular osteotomy procedure using a single bed attachment system.
