  • Title: Salter's osteotomy for the management of joint capsule.
    Author: Sun DZ, Liu YH, Zhang MJ, Li ZY, Liu K.
    Journal: Chin Med J (Engl); 1990 Sep; 103(9):726-8. PubMed ID: 2123773.
    Abstract:
    Capsulotomy in primary Salter's osteotomy shaped by T or + and is difficult to tighten joint capsule. A new technique or L-shaped incision i.e., a L-shaped incision on the right hip and a reversed L-shaped incision on the left is designed to incise and sew the capsule. This technique can make the acetabulum fully exposed, and the capsule can be conveniently tightened with overlapping sutures. When it is combined with modified external fixation, redislocation after operation can be avoided.
