The gluteal approach to the ischium.
This paper describes a gluteal approach to the ischium which facilitates a good exposure of the whole region from the lower part of the ischium to the pubic ramus and allows extensive resections and partial hip reconstruction if necessary. The approach is demonstrated as used in two cases - one benign (desmoplastic fibroma) and one malignant tumor (chondrosarcoma).
