ADJUSTABLE TABLE FOR ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY AND TECHNIQUES FOR IMPLANTING A VERTEBRAE IMPLANT
An adjustable table allows for improved access to a patient during surgery, such as vertebrae implant surgery. The table comprises a base, a support towers mounted in a spaced-apart relation on the base, a table for holding a patient's body, and spaced-apart pairs of body support assemblies to fix in place parts of the patient's body. The table is pivotably mounted between the support towers to be rotatable about a longitudinal axis, allowing the patient to be turned from a prone to a lateral or supine position. The spaced-apart pairs of body support assemblies are configured to clamp a part of a body to fix the position of that part, thereby holding the patient to the table when rotated, and allowing the patient's body to be fixed in a desired position.
