Hip distraction is necessary for safe arthroscopic entry into the hip joint. Achieving sufficient distraction is difficult in exceedingly tall patients (>190.5 cm) because of size limitations of currently available hip distraction systems. Inadequate distraction can delay the surgical procedure and potentially lead to complications. By repurposing a foam head-positioning block, we report a safe and inexpensive positioning technique for extending the traction distance for tall patients by 2 inches.
髋关节牵开对于安全地进行髋关节镜检查进入关节是必要的。由于目前可用的髋关节牵开系统的尺寸限制,在极高的患者(>190.5厘米)中实现足够的牵开是困难的。牵开不足会延迟手术过程并可能导致并发症。通过重新利用一个泡沫头部定位块,我们报告了一种安全且廉价的定位技术,可将高个子患者的牵引距离延长2英寸。
