ANTERIOR APPROACH: Placed inferior to the trans-acetabular ligament during exposure and preparation of the acetabular component. The curve and “twist” of the retractor allow for gentle retraction of the medial and inferior soft tissues and skin. Helps provide easier retraction for the assistant on the other side of the operating table.
POSTERIOR APPROACH: Placed over the anterior acetabular wall for supero-anterior translation of the femoral head and neck during acetabular preparation. The prong(s) pierce the capsule over the anterior wall, then the curve and “twist” of the retractor allows for gentle retraction on the femoral neck. (http://innomed.net/index.htm)
