Surgical exposure of the lesser trochanter and the medial proximal part of the femur.
An exposure of the medial proximal femur between the femoral artery and vein medially and the femoral nerve laterally is described. As far as the authors know, this exposure has not been described in the literature before. In their opinion it is to be preferred to the exposures already published when lesions of the medial proximal part of the femur are to be treated. Moreover, the exposure can be extended distally as described by Henry (1970).
