There are several described variations on the use of the sartorius muscle: Simple mobilisation without detaching origin. This has been called a ‘myoplasty’, but the use of this term is inconsistent.Detach origin and advancement of muscle – ‘transposition’.Detach origin and rotate muscle medially/internally. This sartorius ‘twist’ aims to leave the posterior medial vessels untouched and preserve the vascular supply as much as possible.

The sartorius muscle is the longest muscle in the human body. It originates on the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and runs superficial to insert on the medial surface of the tibia just inferomedial to the tibial tuberosity. Innervated by the femoral nerve, contraction of the sartorius muscle assists with flexion of the thigh at the hip and flexion of the leg at the knee. As a synergistic muscle, use of the sartorius muscle results in minimal loss of function. The sartorius muscle receives segmental blood supply from the superficial femoral artery (SFA).

The minimally invasive transsartorial approach for PAO was performed by 2 experienced orthopedic surgeons via 3 separate osteotomies (Troelsen et al. 2008). In short, an approximately 7 cm incision was made alongside the sartorius muscle beginning at the anterior superior iliac spine. The sartorius muscle was divided parallel with the direction of its fibers. The medial part of the split muscle was retracted medially together with the iliopsoas muscle, and this was followed by osteotomies. The patients were presented with a standardized post-surgery rehabilitation program on the ward, and discharged after approximately 2 days of hospitalization. Partial weight-bearing was allowed in the first 6–8 weeks. Moreover, all patients were offered an individual-based rehabilitation program of 2 weekly training sessions starting 6 weeks after PAO and lasting generally for 2–4 months.

Surgery was performed under spinal anesthesia. An incision was made 1 cm below the anterior superior iliac spine and parallel to skin folds. The incision was deepened through the subcutaneous tissue and fascia lata. Particular attention was paid to the anatomical variations of the nerve tracing. The site at which the LFCN exits the fascia under the inguinal ligament was exposed. The lower leaf of the inguinal ligament was opened, and thus the nerve was decompressed anteromedially. The nerve was mobilized. The fascial edge between the ASIS and the initial part of the sartorius muscle was opened, and thus the nerve was decompressed anteromedially (Figure 1). The nerve was lifted and suspended to separate the LCFN from fascia adhesions. Isotonic saline was injected into the perineum of the LCFN which was observed to be completely free in the inguinal canal.

The standard inguinal lymph node dissection was performed as described below. Briefly, an 8- to 14-cm lazy-S incision was made, 3–4 cm below the groin crease. After the incision, the skin flaps were raised to the level of the Scarpa fascia using electrocautery, which was also used to seal any visible leaking lymphatic vessels. The boundaries of the dissection of lymphatic tissue were the inguinal ligament superiorly, the sartorius muscle laterally, the adductor longus muscle medially, and the apex of femoral triangle inferiorly. The floor of the dissection was the femoral vessels and the pectineus, with the superficial and deep nodes removed. The saphenous vein inside the femoral triangle was ligated and dissected. The sartorius muscle transposition was done to cover the exposed femoral vessels.
