Background: 
·         PA description
o   Patient position is lateral recumbent

o   Gluteus maximus is divided, short external rotators (ER) including the obturator internus are detached
o   T-shaped incision in the articular capsule, femoral head resected, prosthetic implanted
o   Short ER are sutured to their original position as much as possible
