Orliman hip stabilizing orthosis

Code symbol in size:
I - Left hip
D- Right hip

Modular hip stabilizing orthosis that can be used interchangeably for the left or right hip. Made of low- density polyethylene. Comprised of a pelvic band and thigh support (both twin shell), connected by a joint that adjusts flexoextension from 0º to 90º in increments of 10º, and abduction, in the 0º, 15º and 30º positions. The thigh support allows you to modify the rotation and height of the condyle pad for a perfect fit. Both the pelvic band and the thigh support slide along the length of the joint splints in order to adapt them to the patient’s height. The thigh support straps are made up of two velcro straps, and the pelvic band is adjusted using a Velcro belt. The interior foam and external velour lining cover the plastic of the orthosis, protecting the patient from possible chafing from its rigid parts. These fabrics are easy to remove and wash, allowing for proper hygiene of the orthosis.

Effects:

Limitation or blockage of hip flexo-extension movement, abduction control and thigh rotation control.

Uses:

• Post-op stabilization after full hip replacement
• Complications after hip arthroplasty or dislocation
• Post-reduction of dislocated or unstable prosthesis
• After femoral head resection
• Fractures
• Poor bone quality (osteoporosis).
