ABSTRACT:
A device to enable an arthroscopic surgeon to adjust the position of the lower leg with respect to the immobilized thigh portion of the leg as necessary during arthroscopic procedures. The device comprises a girdle around the surgeon's waist/hip area, having a stirrup on one or both sides. The stirrup retains the distal end of the leg, enabling the surgeon, with relatively minimal lateral and vertical hip motions, to adjust the area of interest in the knee for optimum access. The girdle is removably secured to the surgeon by a cinch strap having appropriate releasable securing means.
