A hip positioner for hip surgery (e.g., total hip arthroplasty surgery) is disclosed in which the patient is in a lateral position with the hip upon which surgery is to be performed facing upwardly. The patient lies on a support board having a plurality of holes therein with pins inserted in selected ones of these holes so as to prevent the patient from rolling on to the patient's back. A stanchion is inserted in at least one of the holes on the front of the patient at or above the level of the patient's hips and a support arm extends horizontally from the stanchion toward the upper hip. A pad is carried on the distal portion of the support arm for positive engagement with a desired anatomical feature of the patient (preferably the crest of ilium of the patient's upper hip) thereby to hold the patient in such desired lateral position during surgery.
