Claims16
A femoral support system, comprising:
- a plate configured to support the pelvis of a patient on a table, wherein the plate has a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a pair of lateral sides;
- a pivot assembly secured to the second end of the plate between the lateral sides of the plate, wherein the pivot assembly includes a first pivot joint having a first pivot axis configured to be oriented parallel to a longitudinal axis of the bed;
- a femoral support coupled to the pivot assembly and extending radially from the first pivot joint, wherein the femoral support is configured to directly support the thigh of the patient;
- wherein the femoral support is configured to rotate upward in a vertical plane about the first pivot axis from a first position extending downward from the pivot assembly below the patient to a second position directly supporting and applying traction to the thigh of the patient, and wherein the femoral support is configured to rotate downward in the vertical plane about the first pivot axis from the second position to the first position, wherein the vertical plane is oriented perpendicular to the first pivot axis.
