Abstract
Systems and methods include stabilizing a leg and providing femoral distraction during a knee arthroplasty surgery. The disclosed systems include a leg holder to receive a foot of a patient and a femoral distractor received in the leg holder and disposed underneath a knee of the patient. The femoral distractor is actuated to increase or decrease in length to distract the femur such that a surgeon may cut to resection the femur without also simultaneously providing distraction of the femur.
