ABSTRACT:
A surgical retractor for use in performing hip surgery includes a pair of wing members mounted on a hinge pin for pivotal movement thereabout relative to one another. The hinge pin has one end mounted on a handle and carries a guide member at its opposing end. In performing surgery, the surgeon inserts the retractor, guide member first, with the wing members in a folded position, anchors the hinge pin in place by means of a nail driven into the bone and then opens the wing members to expose the hip socket for surgery. The wing members have guides which receive retention pins driven into the bone to retain the wing members in the desired open position.
