Abstract: Patient positioners as well as methods for using patient positioners are disclosed. An example patient positioner may include a thoracic support assembly having one or more thoracic attachment members for securing the thoracic support member to a rail. The thoracic support assembly may have a thoracic adjustment mechanism configured to shift the thoracic support assembly relative to the one or more thoracic attachment members. A lumbar support assembly may be disposed adjacent to the thoracic support assembly. The lumbar support assembly may include one or more lumbar attachment members for securing the lumbar support assembly to the rail. The lumbar support assembly may include a lumbar adjustment mechanism configured to shift the lumbar support assembly relative to the one or more lumbar attachment members. A bolster may be coupled to at least one of the thoracic support assembly and the lumbar support assembly.

Abstract: This disclosure pertains to a separable base plate assembly configured to securely attached to a side rail of an operating room table and to hold, move, and maintain a body part in a specific position as needed in orthopedic surgery. The separable base plate assembly is further configured to decouple into separate parts to facilitate sterilization of said parts, after an orthopedic surgery is performed. The separable base plate assembly may comprise two or more base portions including track portions, a base plate connector, drop pins, and associated components adapted for securing the assembly, which in turn is configured to be assembled to a clamp that rigidly attaches the assembly to the operating room table side rail.
