Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Limb Amputation

Background:

  • Hip disarticulation is a complex surgical procedure.
  • Traditional approaches can involve extensive dissection and significant blood loss.
  • Minimizing complications and improving surgeon familiarity are key goals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a new, laterally based racquet incision technique for hip disarticulation.
  • To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and patient outcomes associated with this novel approach.
  • To leverage familiar surgical anatomy for improved procedural execution.

Main Methods:

  • A laterally based racquet incision combined with a circumferential incision was employed.
  • The technique focuses on a lateral approach to the hip, familiar to orthopaedic surgeons.

  • Neurovascular structures were exposed and managed through this approach.

    • Main Results:

    • Minimized dissection of major blood vessels, leading to decreased operative blood loss.
    • Excellent soft tissue flap viability with only two minor wound complications.
    • Minimal phantom limb pain reported, with no patient requiring long-term pain medication.

    Conclusions:

    • The described technique offers a viable and safe alternative for hip disarticulation.
    • Utilizing a familiar lateral approach simplifies the procedure and potentially reduces surgical risks.
    • This approach facilitates good outcomes, including successful prosthesis use and minimal pain.
