Efficacy and Satisfaction Comparing Two Braces in the Treatment of DDH in Infants: A Randomized Clinical Trial
The purpose of this study is to 1) evaluate the effectiveness of the Plastizote abduction
brace compared to the Pavlik harness in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip
(DDH) and 2) compare parent/caregiver satisfaction between the Plastizote abduction brace
and the Pavlik harness. The investigators hope to learn which brace treatment is best for a
definable population so the appropriate brace can be chosen initially avoiding the time,
expense, and frustration of a failed technique.
