DJO launched the ADAPTABLE Surgical Arm at the 2019 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, March 12-16 in Las Vegas.
Three things to know:
1. The surgical arm is a surgeon-controlled leg and retractor holder for use in direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty. The carbon fiber surgical arm is designed to reduce the number of assistants needed in the operating room.
2. The surgical arm weighs approximately 10 pounds and can be used for retractor placement or leg positioning for femoral exposure, range of movement and leg length assessment.
3. It is intended to provide an alternative to specialty surgical tables in direct anterior approach THA.
