Description
Ludloff's approach was described for open reduction of congenital dislocation of the hip. We describe the preoperative planning and the surgical procedure for removing an osteochondroma in the lesser trochanter performed by an anteromedial approach. At follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic and had no limitations in his hip motion, with no radiological relapse. This approach can be used without complications, avoiding more aggressive approaches that force to dislocate the hip and lead to sacrifice more soft tissues.
