Lombardi Femoral/Gluteus Medius Minimus Retractor

The retractor can be placed easily at the level of the ischium and driven into the ischium to retract the femur posteriorly when using an anterolateral approach to the hip. Also using an anterolateral approach or a modified Harding hip approach, the retractor can be placed in the tip of the greater trochanter and can effectively retract the abductor mechanism, namely the gluteus medius minimus so that reaming of the femur can be performed.
