  • Title: The omega lateral approach to the hip.
    Author: Learmonth ID, Allen PE.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 1996 Jul; 78(4):559-61. PubMed ID: 8682820.
    Abstract:
    We describe a modified lateral approach to the hip which exploits the function continuity of gluteus medius and vastus lateralis and their dense crescentic attachment to the greater trochanter. The gluteus medius is not incised or split, but is detached and mobilised with gluteus minimus as one unit. This facilitates reattachment of the glutei and helps to preserve abductor function.
