    Operative Technique Step 1 - Patient Positioning Correct positioning of the patient on the fracture table is essential for avoiding problems and complications during surgery (Fig. 1). Place the patient in supine position on the fracture table. Healthy side: Position the leg on the healthy side with the hip in flexion and slight abduction so that the C-arm can be adjusted intra-operatively for...

    Operative Technique Step 3 – Stabilization Guide Wire Insertion When treating unstable (acute) slips a Guide Wire may be used. Using biplanar floroscopy, it is inserted percutaneously in the trochanteric region into the femoral neck and head for intraoperative stabilization. (Fig.
  • Page 9: Determining The Incision And Insertion Points

    Operative Technique Step 4 – Determining the Incision Point and Implant Position Slipping of the femoral head occurs in a true posterior direction. The Hansson Pin must be positioned in the central part of the femoral head. To achieve this, the pin must be inserted anterior-laterally in the greater trochanter and then directed posteriorly (Fig.

    Operative Technique Step 5 – Skin Incision and Guide Wire Insertion Make a 20mm incision at the site where the two lines on the thigh intersect. The insertion point on the anterior-lateral face of the proximal femur is identified at the level of the lesser trochanter (Fig.
