Effectiveness of Cotton vs. Waterproof Cast Padding After Application of Hip Spica: A Randomized Controlled Study
This study aims to: 1) investigate the effectiveness of waterproof spica cast using
Delta-Dry® Pantaloon and cast padding (BSN medical, USA) versus standard gortex pantaloon
with cotton cast padding in maintaining the femur fracture and developmental dysplasia of the
hip reduction after application of hip spica; 2) evaluate the overall quality ratings of both
cast paddings from the perspectives of the patient and the clinicians; and 3) determine the
cost difference between the both cast paddings.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Paediatric patients (<6 years old) diagnosed with developmental dysplasia of the hip
or femur fracture who present to Texas Children's Hospital and plan to be treated with
a spica cast.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with thigh diameter more than 13.4 inches will be excluded because of the
size limitation of the Delta-Dry Pantaloon
- Patients with femur fracture who present for treatment more than 2 weeks from the date
of injury, comminuted fracture, non-displaced fracture, or with other surgical
comorbidity
