Hello All,
I have a 95 y.o. female patient who has just dislocated her Right hip for
the 3rd time in 3 months. She has rejected the usual hard plastic type of
orthosis, as it pokes into her prominent ribs, especially during sitting. I
recall seeing a soft hip abduction orthosis within the last year or two.
Does anyone recall the make or distributor? Even if it does not afford the
same level of control, I would rather have something on her than for her to
go without, simply due to comfort.
Thank you in advance,
Warren R Mays, CPO
