Hip Dysplasia is a comprehensive term that has been used to include a spectrum of related developmental hip problems in infants and children, often present at birth often also diagnosed as congenital hip dislocation, congenital dislocatable hip, congenital subluxatable hip, acetabular dysplasia.

Incidence of hip dysplasia is estimated at 4 per live births and It occurs more frequently in girls and first-borns. It may also be hereditary. If left untreated, and the condition does not resolve on its own, the long-term consequences can result in a shorter leg, a pronounced limp, and premature onset of arthritis and hip pain. Treatment of hip dysplasia tries to hold the hip in the reduced position to allow the head of the femur to mold the acetabulum.

This is usually the position of flexion and abduction. The front leg straps on either side of the Wheaton Pavlik Harness control the amount of flexion, and the back leg straps on either side control the amount of abduction.

You should not make any adjustments to the harness without first checking with your physician. For the first week or longer, depending on the stability of your child's hips, your physician may want the harness on at all times to maintain hip position. The harness is designed so that you can change the baby's diaper without having to undo the harness. After the hip has stabilized, your physician may allow your baby to be out of the harness for a short period each day.

Before removing the harness, note the location of the markings on each strap, and trace over any markings that may be fading. You may then bathe your child, and wash the harness if necessary. Your physician will be checking the baby regularly, and will make the necessary adjustments to the straps.

Most infants need to be in the harness for about three months if the condition is discovered at birth. Email Product Details. Tap or Pinch to Zoom. Loading product pricing. Add to Cart.
