OK, you're gonna pretend you're a pirate with your foot on a keg of rum.
Are you serious?
Yep. This is the Captain Morgan technique for hip reduction.
Who's Captain Morgan?
[Doctor Robby chuckles]
The guy on the rum bottle?
I'll stabilize the pelvis.
OK, you're gonna step up here.
Actually, let me just...sorry.
Yeah, and you are gonna put your right leg behind his knee.
Like this?
Yeah. And you are gonna use your leg as a hinge to put anterior force on his femur.
Physics.
Push down on the lower leg with your left hand.
You got this. Put your back into it. The hip is a big joint with lots of muscle stabilizing it.
Yeah! OK.
Whoa!
Oh, shit... I mean, shoot.
And that is what a hip reduction feels like.
