FUNCTIONAL SPLINT FOR THE TREATMENT OF CONGENITAL HIP DISLOCA-TION

Abstract

The disadvantage of devices for the treatment of dysplasia and congenital hip dislocation currently in use is the inability to create a hip position in which the hip head is optimally positioned through the lower edge of the acetabulum, with the hip head centered in the acetabulum, without creating conditions for positional healing of residual deficits of hip joint elements due to joint dysplasia or after a closed correction of a congenital dislocation of the hip.

The presented development provides a multifunctional device that allows it to be used both for closed correction of congenital hip dislocation and for the treatment of hip dysplasia.
