While the Still technique is efficient and versatile, there are a few situations, such as joint replacements of the hip or knee or decreased internal/external rotation, that inhibit a safe and effective treatment. This article describes a modified approach using the Still technique for the upslipped innominate (or superior innominate shear) to broaden the patient population who can safely and comfortably receive treatment.
