ABSTRACT:
A surgical limb support and positioning structure is constructed in the nature of a stand which may be supported on a surgical table or other suitable support surface so as to facilitate ready access thereto by a surgeon or other medical personnel, and which basically consists of an upstanding structure having mutually angularly adjustable hand and forearm supporting surfaces which are hingedly articulated to each other, whereby a first planar surface portion thereof is adapted to support the forearm of the patient, and a second planar surface portion of similar configuration is adapted to provide a support for the hand and/or forearm of the patient which is to be surgically treated. A suitable adjusting arrangement for providing an angular adjustment between the two hingedly interconnected hand and forearm supporting surfaces is capable of providing a specific angular inclination of the hand relative to the forearm during surgery by locking the support plate portions in particular angular orientations relative to each other.
