ABSTRACT:
An improved orthopedic attachment for receiving and supportably retaining the lower leg and foot of an orthopedic patient to permit traction to be applied to the leg during orthopedic operating procedures. The orthopedic device comprises a rigid support bracket for attachment to the operating end of a traction crank of an orthopedic operating table. Attached to the bracket is a tubular-shaped cuff member for receiving and surrounding the lower leg of a patient and having a fluid-activated inflatable bladder for grippingly engaging the lower leg to positively retain it therein. Also mounted on the bracket is an adjustable foot support plate which engages and positions the foot relative to the leg of the patient to positively position and retain the same so that traction force can be applied longitudinally of the leg to properly align and hold the bones of the leg in alignment during operating procedures.
