Hohmann Retractor

The Hohmann retractor is available in a variety of sizes and its use significantly improves visualization of the caudal aspect of the menisci.

The tip of the retractor is placed on the proximal caudal edge of the tibia and the femoral intercondylar notch is used as a fulcrum to cranially lever the tibia with respect to the femur.

It can also be useful to help reconstruct fractured long bones by manipulating fracture segments into anatomical alignment for fixation.

*There is no substitute for a Hohmann retractor.
