McMahon Posterior Femoral Retractor – Right

After exposing the lesser trochanter, the distal lip of the retractor hooks under the psoas tendon in close contact to the bone. The adjacent tip of the body of the retractor sits under the calcar. The combined action lifts the proximal femur and the body of the retractor creates a space in which to prepare the proximal femur. The handle is bent twice at 30° to move the assistant’s hand out of the way.
