Abstract
Use of the fracture table for patient positioning instead of the standard operating room table is advantageous in many nonorthopedic surgical situations. Benefits include circumferential accessibility of bilateral lower extremities, permitting two or more surgical teams to work simultaneously on different anatomical sites. Burns and multiple acute and chronic leg wounds are particularly suitable for this technique.
