ABSTRACT:
A tibia retractor includes a receptacle into which one's foot can be placed. The receptacle can be adjusted to attain a tight-fitting relationship between the foot and the receptacle. A strap extends from one side of the receptacle and is connectable to the other side of the receptacle. The strap is long enough to pass over the femur so that, when the strap is secured in place, the tibia will be held in a fixed position relative to the femur.
