Anatomic implications of lesser trochanterplasty

Objective: The aim of this study was to measure the area of iliopsoas tendon attachment and the distanceof sciatic nerve, medial circumflex femoral artery (MCFA) and quadratus muscle to lesser trochanter tip,before and after 5, 10, 15 mm depth excision of lesser trochanter.Methods: A total 15 hips of 8 adult male cadavers were evaluated. Distances between lesser trochantertip, sciatic nerve, the lower edge of quadratus muscle and MCFA; length and width of quadratus muscleinsertion; area of iliopsoas muscle and quadratus muscle insertion was measured before and aftersequential 5,10 and 15 mm depth trochanterplasties using 5 mm wide burr parallel to the posteriorcortex.Results: Each incremental 5 mm depth bone removal led to signiŞcant decrease of tendon area (p¼0.001)at each stage. Mean decreases of iliopsoas tendon attachment area with incremental 5 mm burring were22%±10 with 5 mm, 50%±13 with 10 mm, and 76% ±13 with 15 mm of burring.Conclusion: Up to 15 mm lesser trochanter removal did not result in complete detachment of theiliopsoas tendon. Lesser trochanter tip was detected at least 20 mm away from important anatomicstructures including quadratus tendon, sciatic nerve, and the medial circumflex femoral artery.© 2017 Turkish Association of Orthopaedics and Traumatology.
