What is the proper alignment of operative leg before hip surgery?

The proper alignment of the operative leg before hip surgery is:

- The hip should be flexed to 90 degrees.

- The knee should be flexed to 90 degrees.

- The ankle should be dorsiflexed to 90 degrees.

- The foot should be supported in a neutral position.

This position helps to:

- Reduce the risk of dislocation after surgery.

- Facilitate the surgical procedure.

- Provide comfort for the patient.
