    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Pelvic positioning is critical for hip replacement surgery.
    • Maintaining venous drainage is essential to prevent complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new operating table accessory for pelvic stabilization.
    • To ensure unimpeded venous drainage during lateral hip procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of a novel operating table accessory.
    • Focus on its application in lateral pelvic positioning.

    Main Results:

    • The accessory effectively restrains the pelvis in the lateral position.
    • Venous drainage from the operative site is not impeded.

    Conclusions:

    • The described accessory offers a safe and effective solution for pelvic stabilization in hip surgeries.
    • It addresses the challenge of maintaining venous flow while ensuring surgical access.
