I received many responses to my question regarding the Trilateral socket hip
abduction orthosis for the treatment of Perthes. Many of the responses I
received made reference to one of the disadvantages of this type of orthosis
is that the child can vault while wearing the orthosis. Is this a common
problem with this type of orthosis? Also what can be done to prevent
vaulting?
