    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Hip surgeries often require extensive incisions.
    • Accessing anterior, lateral, and posterior aspects can be challenging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a versatile surgical approach for hip procedures.
    • To demonstrate total accessibility through a single incision.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an S-shaped skin and fascial incision.
    • Applied the approach to various hip surgeries.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved total accessibility to anterior, lateral, and posterior hip aspects.
    • Demonstrated applicability in total hip replacement, femoral head replacement, hip nailings, fracture dislocations, and sciatic nerve explorations.
