ABSTRACT:
A collateral ligament retractor includes a first member having a cupped arcuate finger member for insertion into the knee joint, along and partly around the tibal plateau and a curved portion extending from the finger outward around the ligament extending back substantially in the same direction as the finger and including a downwardly extending pivoted elongated arm extending to a position behind the knee above the calf with a second member being of similar design but larger to accommodate the everted patella positioned around the opposite ligament and a tension member in the form of a coil spring connected to the outer end of the arms of the members for biasing the arms toward one another for holding the ligaments in a retracted position.
