Surgical Approaches to the Posterior Hip
Abstract
An extensive knowledge of the anatomy is required when performing surgical approaches to the posterior hip; this will allow for an accurate identification of the anatomical landmarks and their structural relationship with internal organs. Traditionally, pathologies or injuries of the posterior hip had been described separately. This chapter aims to summarize all these isolated topics in one compilation. The chapter is divided into three sections: (a) intra-articular, (b) deep gluteal space, and (c) sacrum, which allows us to describe and analyze all approaches in a detailed manner.
