This particular type of treatment (devised by Hoffman and Daimler) has been used effectively for decades.

Information for the Parents

More On Pediatric Hip Abduction Orthosis

Technical information:

The anatomically formed thigh supports are divided into two and provided with parallel width adjustment. They guarantee exact adaptation to the thigh and good fit. The condyle wedge nearly excludes that the orthosis will slip down. The adjustment range of the condyle bands is 55 mm. To adjust the width of the bands, release the two binding head hexagon socket screws (2.5 mm). Later adjustment of the condyle bands is possible through thermoplastic forming. The condyle pads made of Pedilin® should be glued in place after initial fitting. A hook and loop closure serves to close the orthosis. Pads for the hollow of the knee may additionally be attached. Two ball joints are mounted between the medial condyle bands and the abduction unit. The range of motion of these ball joints is limited to 45 degrees. Rubber collars serve to protect the ball joints. This medial bearing of the abduction unit represents an essential biomechanical feature of the orthosis and prevents torsion of the condyle band on the thigh. The 28L20 Hip Abduction Orthosis is easy to use and waterproof.

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.
