Pearls and Pitfalls

Pearls	Pitfalls
•During the surgical approach, perform careful dissection, especially in cases with previous surgery and scar formation. •Ensure accurate size matching of recipient and donor sites and use demineralized bone matrix as adjuvant filler. •During capsulotomy of the proximal limb along the acetabular rim, an inside-out technique should be used to avoid damage to the labrum.	•Femoral head damage from aberrant retractor placement. •Retinacular vessel and other vascular damage from excessive use of electrocautery. •Labral damage from inadequate distraction during dislocation. •Incongruence of the articular surface from countersinking of the allograft.
