Patient positioning on the Hana table. The patient is in the supine position on a Hana table for revision left hip arthroscopy. Patient is moved proximally, the draw sheet is removed, and the C-arm used to have a clear anteroposterior x-ray of the operative hip. The draw sheet is removed to maximize the contact between the patient and the pink pad, arrow. *Left hip. The black arrow indicates the contact between the patient and the pink pad.
