Does Iliac Crest Reduction Harm The Attached Muscles?
A: Dr. Eppley, hi I was wondering about the iliac crest reduction surgery. what is the amount of length the hip is reduced by, is it doable on men, and does it harm or remove any muscles.
A:It is 1 cm reduction per side at the widest part of the iliac crest. There is minimal disruption of the gluteus medius muscle whose central part of the muscle lies underneath the reduced crestal area.
