Baby Infant Congenital Dislocation of the Hip Orthosis for DDH – Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

Description

This is a certified Class 1 paediatric congenital orthosis, used to correct a baby’s dislocated or unstable hip from birth. Most commonly known as Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH). The early intervention of an orthosis like this often completely corrects the problem without surgery.

Indications & Functions

DDH – Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (when the hip joint doesn’t develop properly)
Hip instability or laxity
Congenital hip dislocation or subluxation or unstable hip from birth

The orthosis holds the baby’s legs flexed and spread apart (in flexion and abduction). Thus prevents the legs from coming together. This position helps the hip joint sit correctly in the hip socket, allowing normal development. Over time, it improves alignment and helps the joint form properly, keeping the hips in the healthiest position for growth.

Usage

This is a medical device and is typically fitted by a specialist. It should not be removed by parents, even during bathing, unless specifically advised by the clinical team. Parents should regularly check the baby’s skin for any signs of redness or soreness. Follow-up appointments are usually scheduled on a weekly or fortnightly basis to monitor progress and assess hip development.
