Abstract
Devices and methods for positioning a patient's leg during a leg or knee operation by employing a novel surgical leg positioning device. The device has a low profile so that it can remain under sterile surgical drapes during an operation, and prevents the leg from moving out or up. Large, easy to access, buttons are provided to allow the surgical leg positioning device to be manipulated while under sterile surgical drapes so that it may be moved when no longer needed.
