Popis: The intent of this report is to present the rather striking appearance of the pelvis after subjection to the Sharrard or Mustard operations for hip stabilization. This appearance may be quite misleading to radiologists who are not aware of these procedures. The Sharrard operation as performed by Dr. John Sharrard of the Children's Hospital, Sheffield, England, has been described in detail by Dr. J. H. Allan (1). It is being performed at several centers in the United States, and radiologists may expect to be confronted with this iatrogenic change. The Mustard operation is, however, more widely recognized (2). The operation consists of an iliopsoas transfer used to provide hip stability for patients with hip abductor weakness and is most commonly performed in myelomeningocele. Following an adductor tenotomy, the iliopsoas muscle is transplanted from the lesser trochanter of the femur, posteriorly, through a hole in the wing of the ilium, and attached to the greater trochanter of the femur. The Mustard opera...
