Individual operating handles on the ends of each leg spar that controls the hip flexion, extension, abduction and adduction. A system made out of lightweight and rigid materials that are stable with minimal flex to ensure that joint distraction forces are not lost throughout the length of the system.

A system with two leg spars with equal traction functionality to facilitate: - patient positioning and leg traction -adequately and safely balance the pelvis -distribute traction forces equally across the perineal post A system were both spars provide internal and external leg rotation, dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, gross traction and fine traction; while the non-operative and operative spar allows for abduction of the leg; and the operative spar also provides flexion and extension thru separate mechanisms. A disposable pad kit for the protection of the patient's skin from shear forces.
