– Technique: The approach to the femur is carried down, through a slightly anteriorly curved 20 cm incision, to split the interval between the fascia lata and the gluteus medius. A large Charnley retractor is used throughout the case for the fascial retraction. The deep plane of dissection is between the rectus femoris and the … Read more
