ABSTRACT:
Apparatus that permits a hip surgery patient to be rotated to lie on his side while maintaining the affected leg in a desired degree of abduction and external rotation includes a splint portion that grasps the affected leg and that is secured to an elevating portion. The elevating portion includes a splint-mounting bar that is hinged to a stationary base that lies on the bed. The axis of the hinge is approximately colinear with the spine of the patient. The apparatus constrains the affected leg to move on an arcuate path as the patient is rolled onto his side whereby the affected leg swings to the elevated position. The elevating portion includes locking devices for maintaining the affected leg in the elevated position.
