Forbidden positions: 1, 2 ,3, 4.

Safe positions: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.

Reference positions: 8, 9, 10, 11.

COMMENTS:

Only console transosseous elements can be used in the projection of positions 7, 8, 9 and 10.
The application of positions 8, 9, 10 and 11 is optimal at this level, because in this case the transosseous elements will minimally stand in the way of soft tissue displacement relative to the femur while motions in the hip joint.
    In positions 10, 11 subcutaneous fasciotomy is to be carried out in proximal direction for the value of fascial removal (1-1,5 cm).
 
   

 

The transosseous elements recommended for use at the femoral level II can be designated as: II,8;II,9; II,10 and II,11.
