Abstract
A modular patient positioning system includes: a first pegboard having a first pegboard hole; a second pegboard rotatably coupled to the first pegboard and having a second pegboard hole, the first pegboard and second pegboard lying along a common plane in a first configuration and the first pegboard and second pegboard lying along different planes in a second configuration. A first body portion and a second body portion of a patient's body may be positioned and supported in different planes by having the first pegboard support the first body portion and the second pegboard support the second body portion; and a leg positioner including a mounting structure for mounting the leg positioner on the second pegboard and positioning a leg in a predetermined position relative to the second pegboard. The mounting structure of the leg positioner allows for adjusting axial rotation, abduction/adduction, elevation/depression, and/or flexion/extension of the leg.
