Ottobock Pediatric Hip Abduction Orthosis

Q & A

The Cybertech Ottobock Pediatric Hip Abduction Orthosis is the most effective treatment for hip dysplasia in children aged 6 to 18 months. Its purpose is to exert as much control over the child's leg motions as possible. The orthosis places the hip joint head in a position that helps the acetabulum grow (hip socket). The two parallel width-adjustable thigh supports, which are anatomically shaped, are split. The condyle bands have a 55 mm range of adjustability. The orthosis is secured using a hook and loop closure. It is also possible to attach pads for the knee's hollow. The medial condyle bands and the abduction unit are connected by two ball joints. Ball joints are shielded by rubber collars. Utilizing the Hip Abduction Orthosis is simple.

Instructions for Use

Parents should be instructed on the use of the orthosis at the time of fitting. Only the hook and loop closures are needed to apply or remove the orthosis.
Highly stable shoes with good traction are suggested to help your child stand safely when wearing the orthosis. In addition, the outer edge of the shoes may be wedged by 3 mm to make it easier to stand.
The ball joints in the orthosis minimize the torsion of the thigh supports, thus preventing a possible adduction at heel strike.
Your child’s doctor will determine a daily wearing schedule for the hip abduction orthosis.
Since this orthosis is waterproof, it may remain in place during bathing and other activities.
When the radiological findings show a satisfying result, the child is to be weaned from the orthosis.
In general, the time to wean the child from the orthosis will extend over a period of 6 to 8 weeks.
During this period, abduction will be reduced every two weeks by 1 cm.
