Can I Get Hip Reduction Like Shown In This Picture?
Q: Dr. Eppley, I am interested in hip reduction as per the attached diagram.
A:The diagram shows an incorrect approach to hip reduction. Hip reduction refers to the iliac crest which is the widest bony part of the hip/pelvis…which is possible. The diagram shows reduction of the greater trochanter of the femur…which is not possible due to the musculofascial attachments to it and that it is a leg bone not a hip bone.
