title: The Bernese peri-acetabular osteotomy through a modified approach. A technical note.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  A modification of the technique for performing the Bernese periacetabular osteotomy is described.
  
  
  METHODS
  A medial approach to the Ischium and a subtle re-orientation of the pubic osteotomy are detailed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Surgical morbidity is likely decreased with a concurrent cosmetic advantage without compromise to surgical correction or patient safety.
