Knee prop for knee surgery.
A simple, inexpensive, effective, sterilizable knee prop is described for use in the operating room. It allows placement of the knee in any position, using the operating table hydraulic mechanism in conjunction. It is small, compact, easily adjustable, and can be kept sterilized for easy access. Over thirty years of use have abundantly demonstrated its success.
