SLOB
We need to CLARIFY something about SLOB. The name was a reaction to grab the attention of RADIOLOGISTS so as to not call what they see as 'sarcoma', even 'possibly sarcoma'. We had two cases where patients rushed to cancer hospitals for biopsy (= new bone formation). Imagine the mind job that 'sarcoma' did on those families! They were reacting to the superolateral spreading bone line which is from the iliac periosteum which is peeled up and lateralized by the packed in new bone. There is more bone graft posterior but that didn't ring anybody's alarm bells. So the bone is supero Lateral & Posterior bone gract. See the gray blob above. The psoas/iliacus is lengthened (intrapelvic) and the rectus femoris recessed into the rest of the quadriceps (direct head divided but reflected head remains creating a visible notch in the new bone which allows following real old socket repair from the new. SPMLs handle the rest of muscular tension balancing.
