Apparatus for positioning the lower limb of a patient during operation, in particular for hip replacement operations with anterior approach, and surgical positioning system comprising said apparatus
Apparatus (20′；) for positioning the lower limb of a patient (500) during operation, in particular for hip replacement operations with anterior approach, comprising: a traction arm (30′；) with at least a distal portion (34′；, 36′；) defining a traction axis (x′；)； a support framework (40′；) coupled to said traction arm (30′；) so as to allow the adjustment of the position of one of its distal ends (32′；)； a coupling (60′；) constrained to said traction arm (30′；) and arranged to be associated to the distal end of the lower limb of the patient (500)； at least a first actuator (34′；) which defines with its action a relative movement of the coupling (60′；) with respect to the traction arm (30′；), at least a component of said relative movement being parallel to the traction axis (x′；).
