Soft Tissue Tension3,6 ªSurgeons discovered that the soft tissue ‘tension' (i.e., tendinous attachments of the psoas and the abductors) is critical for post-operative stability. ªMyodeses are performed and intraoperative testing consisting of range of motion, saddle stability and ease of dislocation is routine. ªDysfunctional systems must be corrected at the operative time. ªThe modular intermediate component allows for patient variability to maintain the soft tissue tension.
Intraoperative placement of PAR prosthesis4 Specific technique for PAR prosthesis by Menendez et al.:4 ª Space posterior to prosthesis packed with gelfoam ª Spaces between prosthesis and ilium packed with polymethylmethacrylate (see above photo) ª Femoral component implanted as in total hip replacement ª Components assembled and trialed, modular components may be needed to maintain optimal length and stability
