ABSTRACT:
A device for mechanically supporting a patient's foot in such a manner that surgery can be performed on the tibia or ankle without the need for medical personnel to hold the leg. In addition, a fracture can be reduced, held, X-rayed and casted by the surgeon without help. The foot support device permits the reduction of tibial and ankle fractures slowly, thereby avoiding muscle spasm, and holds the reduced fracture in place for casting. The support device also substantially eliminates the problem of controlling a heavy leg during surgery or trauma treatment.
