APPARATUS FOR POSITIONING THE LOWER LIMB OF A PATIENT DURING OPERATION, IN PARTICULAR FOR HIP REPLACEMENT OPERATIONS WITH ANTERIOR APPROACH, AND SURGICAL POSITIONING SYSTEM COMPRISING SAID APPARATUS

摘要

Apparatus (20′) for positioning the lower limb of a patient (500) during operation, in particular for hip replacement operations with anterior approach, comprising: a traction arm (30′) with at least a distal portion (34′, 36′) defining a traction axis (x′); a support framework (40′) coupled to said traction arm (30′) so as to allow the adjustment of the position of one of its distal ends (32′); a coupling (60′) constrained to said traction arm (30′) and arranged to be associated to the distal end of the lower limb of the patient (500); at least a first actuator (34′) which defines with its action a relative movement of the coupling (60′) with respect to the traction arm (30′), at least a component of said relative movement being parallel to the traction axis (x′).
