Trauma
Positioning for Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery.
When time is of the essence, Surgeon’s need a consistent patient positioning approach that provides an effective working surface to optimize operative exposure, patient safety, and enable the ability to deploy imaging as quickly as possible.
Practical Solutions for Lower Extremity Trauma Positioning:
A Review of Anterior, Lateral, and Posterior Procedures
Lower extremity fractures can occur in the foot, femur, tibia, and fibula, but the most common fractures are to the ankle. Approximately 300,000 ankle fractures occur annually in the US with 25% of these requiring surgery. Makeshift positioning approaches can be unstable and change shape during the procedure. BoneFoam Positioning Solutions provide a consistent approach and a stable working surface.
