Abstract
An apparatus for positioning and restraining a patient's appendage in a desired attitude during surgery includes a tray movable along a rail on the operating table. The tray extends over the patient receiving surface of the operating table and has a fastener on the upper surface which cooperates with a fastener on a wrap enclosing the patient's appendage. By adjusting the brackets along the length of the operating table rail, the patient's appendage will be flexed to a position desired by the surgeon. Locking the brackets in place retains the desired flex during the procedure. The frame of the apparatus is reusable through sterilization and the tray is provided in a sterilized condition and disposable after surgery.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to orthopedic surgery and, more particularly, to a device and method of positioning and maintaining a joint in place during surgery.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- During orthopedic surgery it is very important to maintain a constant position for the patient's appendage, especially if the surgery is to replace portions of a natural joint with a prosthesis. This constant position results in the prosthesis closely fitting onto the remaining natural bones and providing a good functional equivalent of the natural joint. Some surgeons assign an operating room nurse to exclusively monitor and manipulate the position of the patient's appendage and flexure of the joint during the entire surgical procedure. The ability of the nurse to maintain the appendage depends on the nurse's strength, stamina, and ability to anticipate movement. For instance, if a knee prosthesis is the basis of the surgery then the nurse may be used to hold an individual's leg during the surgery. The nurse may also be expected to assist in the surgery which may lead to disruptions should the leg move while the nurse is attending to other functions. Clearly, this is an inefficient use of manpower and operating room resources.
- Other conventional devices for supporting and restraining a patient on an operating table include U.S. Pat. No. 5,560,728 issued to McFadden which discloses a head rest mounted on a frame with arms that are attached to a bracket attached to the table; U.S. Pat. No. 5,369,827 to Parke et al which discloses foot stirrups mounted on arms held on an operating table rail; U.S. Pat. No. 5,020,525 to Ewing et al which discloses a series of straps with Velcro fasteners wrapped about an appendage and connected to a cable system attached to an operating table; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,766,891 to Schultz which discloses a belt with patient leg connectors worn by the surgeon so that, by changing position, the surgeon can dictate the position and flex of the patient's leg.
- All of these devices have attachments that extend outwardly from the operating table and are subject to accidental movement of the patient's appendage because of interference with the device by operating room personnel.
- What is needed in the art is a method and apparatus for positioning and restraining a patient's appendage in a fixed orientation on the surface of the operating table.
- The instant invention is an apparatus for positioning and restraining a patient's appendage in a desired attitude during surgery. The apparatus includes a tray movable along a rail on the operating table, the tray extends over the patient receiving surface of the operating table. The tray is formed from either a rigid or soft surface having hook and loop fastener which cooperates with a hook and loop fastener on a wrap enclosing the patient's appendage. By adjusting mounting brackets along the length of the operating table rail, the tray can be placed anywhere along the length of the table. Once appendage tray is positioned longitudinally along the table, based on the patient's appendage position, the tray is secured in position for the surgical procedure. The surgeon can now flex and secure the patient's appendage to the tray. Alternatively the surgeon can separate the appendage fastener from the tray fastener and flex and reposition the patient's appendage to anywhere on the tray zone that is an appropriate position.
- Therefore, it is an objective of this invention to provide a method of fixing a joint at a desired degree of flexion/rotation, during the surgical procedure, with the ability to reposition the patient's appendage anywhere in the tray zone throughout the surgical procedure.
- It is another objective of this invention to provide an apparatus for attachment to a conventional operating table for adjustably supporting a patient restraint on the surface of the table.
- It is a further objective of this invention to provide a patient wrap for fitting about an appendage and connecting with a patient restraint on an operating table.
- Still another objective of the invention is to provide a frame that can be sterilized through various means such as an autoclave and have disposable drapes, that is, patient wrap and tray which is in sterilized condition prior to use and disposable after surgery
- Other objectives and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein are set forth, by way of illustration and example, certain embodiments of this invention. The drawings constitute a part of this specification and include exemplary embodiments of the present invention and illustrate various objects and features thereof.
