Intraoperative patient positioning. Under general anesthesia, the patient is placed in the prone decubitus position with the operative limb (right leg) in traction on a radiolucent table. A distraction pad (pink pad) is placed under the patient to prevent sliding and achieve bottomless traction. The C-arm and arthroscopy monitor are on the contralateral side of the table.
