Figure 2. Image of the patient placed in supine decubitus on the traction table. The hip to be operated upon (in this case the right hip) is placed in 10-15º flexion and aligned with the trunk of the patient. The foot of the leg to be operated upon is rotated internally to move the femoral neck parallel to the floor, and the table is inclined 10º towards the opposite side. The radioscopic equipment and arthroscopy tower are positioned on the opposite side.
