Abstract: A foot holding assembly that includes a boot configured to hold the foot of the patient, a rigid sole coupled to the boot, a pivot arm having a first end rotatably coupled to the sole, a slider block pivotally coupled to a second end of the pivot arm and configured to be slidably mounted to a rail. The slider block includes a segmented body including a pair of longitudinal segments and a lateral segment, and a retainer disposed at an lateral interface of the pair of longitudinal segments and the lateral segment, wherein the retainer is configured to receive a second end of the pivot arm, wherein the pair of longitudinal segments and the lateral segment of the segmented body are each configured to move relative to one another in response to insertion of the second end of the pivot arm into the retainer.

Abstract: A foot holding assembly for securing a foot of a patient during a surgical or diagnostic procedure includes a boot configured to hold the foot of the patient. In addition the assembly includes a rigid sole coupled to the boot. Further, the assembly includes a pivot arm having a first end rotatably coupled to the sole with a rotatable coupling configured to allow the sole to rotate relative to the first end of the pivot arm about an axis oriented perpendicular to the sole. The rotatable coupling includes an incremental locking mechanism including a locked position and an unlocked position. When the incremental locking mechanism is in the locked position, the rotational position of the sole about the axis is releasably locked. When the incremental locking mechanism is in the unlocked position, the sole is free to rotate relative the first end of the pivot arm only about the axis.
