Transfer of adductors, external oblique, and tensor fasciae latae. A, Skin incision. B, Skin flaps are elevated to expose fascia of leg and external oblique muscle. C, Cut edges of external oblique muscle and aponeurosis are folded over and sutured. Defect in aponeurosis is sutured. Origin of tensor fasciae latae on ilium is detached, with care being taken to preserve neurovascular bundle. Remainder of muscle is prepared for transfer. D, Tendon of external oblique is transferred to greater trochanter from posterior to anterior. Distal end of tensor fasciae latae is woven through tendon of gluteus maximus. SEE TECHNIQUE 34.39.
