Instructions and suggested guidelines

Placing legs in stirrups:
● Stirrups shall be of the same type: securely fasten at the same level (equal height).
● Securely fasten stirrups at same level along the side of the operating room bed and adjust both stirrups to equal height.
● Extreme heights of stirrups should be avoided.
● With two health care workers, simultaneously place the patient’s legs in the appropriate stirrups as follows:
● Approach from the side of the patient.
● Use proper body mechanics.
● Slowly bend the patient’s knee and hip supporting legs at the sole of the foot and at the calf near the knee.
● Lift the foot and place in the stirrup.
● Limit hip flexion (< 90 degrees). Pay particular attention to patients who have limited range of motion (i.e. hip prosthesis), amputations, casts, existing back pain, spasticity, or who are obese.
● Minimize rotation of hip joint therefore causing excessive abduction. (Rationale: prevents sciatic and obturator nerve injury and joint and muscle strain.)
● Apply padding to any part of the leg or foot that comes in contact with the metal post.
● Avoid candy cane stirrups.

Using Boot Type Stirrups:
● Follow the recommendations for use.
● Attach boot stirrup support to bed at level of the patient’s hip.
● Position the boot to ensure that patient’s foot aligns with the right knee and left shoulder.
● Seat heels appropriately in the cushioned boots.
● Check that the peroneal nerve and posterior knee are clear of pressure from the boot.
● Remove foot and leg sections of mattress pad from OR bed and lower platform fully.
● Remind scrub personnel not to lean on patient’s thighs or legs. (Rationale: leaning increases pressure areas.)
● Evaluate distal extremity pulses pre, intra, and post-op (recommended).
