There are Andrews tables they use for backs which I really hate because positioning the patient into one of these is a HUGE occupational health and safety risk-I'm sure there is sader technology they can come up with.

I think what you call your fracture table is what we call our traction table. I hate the bloody thing because setting it up is always a nightmare and yes another OCHS risk because everything is sooo heavy on it.

And yes the Jackson OSI table-yet another thing to break our backs in ortho.

We use the Marquet tables and as I work in general we really only go supine or lithotomy on it.
