w ELBOW ARTHROSCOPY We move this patient into the lateral
position for his elbow arthroscopy. A pillow protects his knees, and
eggcrate cushions his ankles and feet. You don't want both legs bent
like this, so we'll straighten the top leg for better support and leave
the bottom leg bent. The bean bag, still flat and squishy, has not yet
been vacuumed. Note the drawsheet underneath the patient.
