Orthopedic device for treating hip dysplasia and hip dislocation

摘要

In an orthopedic device for treating hip dysplasia and hip dislocation, a pelvis-supporting portion is provided with two angular projections extending in the region of natural hip joints of a patient and each carrying a pivot joint including rotation discs to which a curved guide is connected. The curved guide of each pivot joint has a longitudinal slot in which an end of an upper shank guide bar is displaceable and arrestable in any desired position. Two upper shank guide bars carrying the respective upper shank supports are pivotally connected to the lower shank guide bars carrying the respective lower shank supports.
