Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for positioning a leg during surgery has a support for holding a substantial portion of one of the patient's legs on the side facing the other leg and a pivot located in the proximity of the patient's pelvis. After patient's pelvis is secured relative to the operating table, the distal end of the support can be moved for adjustment of the outer extremity of the patient's leg relative to the operating table to selectively position the leg relative to the patient's pelvis.
