Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Anatomic study of the pelvis of 30 fetuses and newborn children, yielded gave precise relationship between the sacrotuberous ligaments and size of the gluteal region. At birth, the distance between the posterior superior iliac spine and the ischium is 40 mm. Closure of the anterior defect in bladder exstrophy sometimes requires an orthopedic surgical procedure. Bilateral posterior iliac osteotomy and section of these ligaments can be easily done by a single medial Posterior approach herein described.

Résumé

Une étude anatomique portant sur 30 bassins de fœtus et de nouveau-nés a permis de préciser les rapports de ligaments sacro-sciatiques et les dimensions du bassin dans la région fessière. A terme, la hauteur entre l'épine iliaque postéro-supérieure et l'ischion mesure environ 40 mm. L'application est représentée par la chirurgie orthopédique de l'exstrophie vésicale. La correction de la malformation peut associer une ostéotomie iliaque postérieure bilatérale et une section des ligaments sacro-sciatiques. Une voie d'abord médiane unique est décrite.
