Abstract
Anterior approaches to the pelvis for acetabular surgery require an intimate knowledge of pelvic anatomy. The utilitarian anterior approach is the ilioinguinal approach. This article will describe a technique for modifying the medial window of the ilioinguinal approach to facilitate intrapelvic visualization and instrumentation not afforded in the original technique as described by Letournel.
