Dysplasia of the Hip

Hip Orthoses for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip – DDH

DDH means the ball of the hip either comes out of the socket or the socket has not developed properly. DDH is often managed in bracing to hold the upper leg and hip in a specific position for a period of time until the hip forms correctly or the instability has reduced.
Several styles of bracing can be used for DDH depending on the age of the baby or the degree of the condition.
