Is the obturator artery safe when performing ischial osteotomy during periacetabular osteotomy?

Abstract: The purposes of this study were (1) to evaluate the actual distance between the obturator artery and the ischial osteotomy site when performing periacetabular osteotomy via an anterior approach and (2) to determine a safe method to avoid injuring the obturator artery during this procedure. Twenty-nine hemipelves from cadavers were used in this study. The mean distance between the obturator artery and the ischial osteotomy site was 35.6± 7.5 mm and always exceeded 20 mm. Therefore, the procedure can be performe… Show more

“…presented that the mean distance between the obturator artery and the ischial osteotomy site was 35.6 ± 7.5 mm and always exceeded 20 mm. 13 Furthermore, we realized that the obturator artery was under risk at the proximal of quadrilateral posterior osteotomy more so than in ischial osteotomy. In our study, we used an image intensifier to locate the ischial osteotomy.…”

“…During ischial osteotomies, the OA and CM can be injured due to a difficulty of visualization during an anterior approach (Kamada et al, 2011;Wada et al). Different approaches of osteotomies possess different risks of iatrogenic injury since the structures involved are different.…”

“…Care is taken not to stray medially as the obturator neuromuscular bundle is close as it exits the inner pelvis underneath the obturator canal and pierces the obturator membrane. In a study of 29 cadaveric hemipelvises, the distance between the inferior ischial osteotomy site and the obturator artery has been shown to be an average of 36mm with a minimum of 22 mm [9]. It is also important to not dissect distal to the cephalad margin of the obturator externus in order to not jeopardize the medial femoral circumflex artery which constitutes the main blood supply to the femoral head [10].…”
