Abstract

A method of treating a hip joint of a human is provided. The method comprises a step of dissecting an area of the pelvic bone, comprising at least one of the following: dissecting an area between peritoneum and the pelvic bone, dissecting an area between the pelvic bone and the surrounding tissue, dissecting an area of the pelvic region, and dissecting an area of the inguinal region, or, the method comprises at least two of the following steps: dissecting an area of the abdominal cavity, penetrating the hip joint capsule, dissecting an area between peritoneum and the pelvic bone, dissecting an area of the pelvic bone which comprises: dissecting an area between the pelvic bone and the surrounding tissue, or dissecting an area of the pelvic region, or dissecting an area of the inguinal region, and removing or penetrating the tissue surrounding the pelvic bone in the area opposite to acetabulum.

Claims (31)

1. A method of treating a hip joint of a human patient by providing at least one hip joint surface, said hip joint comprising a caput femur and an acetabulum, said method comprising the steps of:

cutting the skin of the human patient,

dissecting an area of the pelvic bone on the opposite side from the acetabulum,

creating a hole in said dissected area from the opposite side from the acetabulum, said hole passing through the pelvic bone and into the hip joint of the human patient, and

providing at least one hip joint surface to the hip joint from the opposite side from the acetabulum, through said hole in the pelvic bone of the human patient,

wherein the step of dissecting an area of the pelvic bone further comprises at least one of the following:

dissecting an area between the peritoneum and the pelvic bone,

dissecting an area between the pelvic bone and the surrounding tissue,

dissecting an area of the pelvic region, and

dissecting an area of the inguinal region,

or,

wherein the method further comprises at least two of the following steps:

dissecting an area of the abdominal cavity,

penetrating the hip joint capsule,

dissecting an area between peritoneum and the pelvic bone,

dissecting an area between the pelvic bone and the surrounding tissue,

dissecting an area of the pelvic region,

dissecting an area of the inguinal region, and

removing or penetrating the tissue surrounding the pelvic bone in an area opposite to the acetabulum.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of dissecting an area of the pelvic bone comprises dissecting an area between the peritoneum and the pelvic bone.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of dissecting an area of the pelvic bone comprises dissecting an area between the pelvic bone and the surrounding tissue.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of dissecting an area of the pelvic bone comprises dissecting an area of the pelvic region.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of dissecting an area of the pelvic bone comprises dissecting an area of the inguinal region.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of dissecting an area of the pelvic bone comprises dissecting an area of the abdominal cavity and penetrating the hip joint capsule.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of dissecting an area of the pelvic bone comprises dissecting an area of the abdominal cavity and dissecting an area between peritoneum and the pelvic bone.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of dissecting an area of the pelvic bone comprises dissecting an area of the abdominal cavity and dissecting an area between the pelvic bone and the surrounding tissue.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of dissecting an area of the pelvic bone comprises dissecting an area of the abdominal cavity and dissecting an area of the pelvic region.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of dissecting an area of the pelvic bone comprises dissecting an area of the abdominal cavity and dissecting an area of the inguinal region.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of dissecting an area of the pelvic bone comprises dissecting an area between peritoneum and the pelvic bone and removing or penetrating the tissue surrounding the pelvic bone in an area opposite to the acetabulum.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of dissecting an area of the pelvic bone comprises dissecting an area of the pelvic region and removing or penetrating the tissue surrounding the pelvic bone in an area opposite to the acetabulum.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of dissecting an area of the pelvic bone comprises dissecting an area of the inguinal region and removing or penetrating the tissue surrounding the pelvic bone in an area opposite to the acetabulum.
