Should not alter surgical practice; leaves open comparative efficacy versus standard approaches in pediatric dysplastic hips.
During surgery for developmental dysplasia of the hip, the anterior approach utilizing the Smith-Peterson interval between tensor fascia lata and sartorius is often used. Exploration of the deep acetabulum is sometimes difficult and cumbersome. We have devised a more direct approach to the hip that improves the exploration of the deep acetabulum by going medial to the sartorius between it and the iliacus. We have found this approach quite useful and easy to master without any added complication.

Kremli et al. (2018) studied Developmental dysplasia of the hip. Novel anterior approach medial to the sartorius between it and the iliacus vs. Traditional anterior approach utilizing the Smith-Peterson interval was evaluated. A novel anterior approach going medial to the sartorius between it and the iliacus improved exploration of the deep acetabulum without added complications in pediatric dysplastic hip surgeries.
