The Denis Browne Splint is a specialized medical device designed to treat conditions such as clubfoot and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Ideal for infants and young children, the splint helps correct deformities by positioning the feet in a more natural alignment. By choosing Comprehensive Prosthetics and Orthotics, you can trust that your child will receive personalized care and a treatment plan designed to meet their needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes for their development and overall health.
Treatment for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)
Babies with DDH often require a special brace, like the Denis Browne Bar, to help correct hip alignment issues. The DB bar positions the hips in abduction, promoting proper joint development and reducing the risk of future dislocations. Comprehensive Prosthetics and Orthotics offers thorough guidance on fitting the DB bar, including instructional presentations for parents. These presentations cover how to properly fit the bar, perform daily checks to ensure a good fit, and provide tips for giving your baby a sponge bath while wearing the brace.
Denis Browne Splint Features & Benefits
The Denis Browne Splint, also known as the Denis Browne Bar or foot abduction orthosis, offers several features and benefits to aid in the correction of foot and hip deformities:
- High-Quality and Lightweight Construction: The splint’s bar is made from durable, lightweight aluminum, making it easy for infants to wear without discomfort.
- Adjustable Design: The distance between the splints can be adjusted via a knob to match the shoulder length, ensuring a proper fit for each patient.
- Customizable Foot Positioning: The splint allows for foot abduction and adduction adjustment according to medical requirements and the patient’s specific condition.
- Secure Fit: A unique ankle strap ensures the heel fits snugly inside the shoes, preventing slippage and ensuring effective treatment.
- Prevention of Relapses: The Denis Browne Splint helps prevent relapses after removing the final plaster cast and maintaining the correct foot position.
- Flexible Wearing Schedule: To maintain the correction, the splint must be worn full-time for two to three months, followed by night-time wear.
