Intraoperative photograph showing the knee position in the operating suite. The patient is placed in a supine position with a well-padded high-thigh tourniquet placed on the operative leg (left), which is then placed into a leg holder, whereas the contralateral knee is placed into an abduction stirrup. The foot of the bed is lowered to allow the operative leg to hang freely within the surgical field.
