Wedge Splint Orthosis – Hip abduction

Characteristics:

• Keeps the femoral head centered within the acetabulum, at 60° of abduction and 90° of flexion
• Promotes normal bone development.
• Comfort: Soft, lined terry.
• Simple: adjusts and adapts with Velcro to any part of the cushions.
  

• Congenital hip dislocation.
• Non-forced reduction of hip dysplasia.
• Dislocated or unstable hips during the first months of the baby's life.
• Congenital dislocation of the hip.
• Subluxations due to other orthopedic or surgical treatments.
• Keeps the head of the femur centered in the acetabulum, at 60º of abduction and 90º of flexion, promoting normal bone development.
• The position of flexion, abduction and external rotation increases the coverage of the acetabulum over the head of the femur, allowing greater stability and congruence.
