The RotexShoe: "The new way of standardised foot fixation for extension table positioning?"

OP-Journal offprint: Positioning of the foot during extension table positioning

The positioning of the foot in the extension table position has its pitfalls. Damage to the heel or the dorsum of the foot occurs time and again. There is nothing worse than an optimal osteosynthetic treatment whose success is reduced or even nullified by a decubitus on the patient's foot (Motzny, 2021).

An exciting article on the positioning of the foot during extension table positioning by Alexander Motzny (deputy head of nursing in the operating theatre/head of the AEMP, operating theatre department of the Berufsgenossenschaftliche Unfallklinik Tübingen). In this, Motzny looks at the possibilities of positioning the foot in the past and today and shows approaches to solutions and alternatives in order to obtain the best possible positioning of the foot. He also discusses the advantages of our Condor RotexShoes.
