Efficacy and Satisfaction Comparing Two Braces in the Treatment of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) in Infants
Completed · Phase 4
Conditions studied: Hip Dislocation, Congenital, Congenital Deformity of Hip Joint
In brief
The purpose of this study is to 1) evaluate the effectiveness of the Plastizote abduction brace compared to the Pavlik harness in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and 2) compare parent/caregiver satisfaction between the Plastizote abduction brace and the Pavlik harness. The investigators hope to learn which brace treatment is best for a definable population so the appropriate brace can be chosen initially avoiding the time, expense, and frustration of a failed technique.
