₹1,650
Description
D-Rotation Bar with Traction is an orthopedic device used primarily to treat specific lower limb deformities or conditions, particularly in infants and children. It is often associated with conditions that require correction of rotational abnormalities in the legs, such as internal tibial torsion or clubfoot (talipes equinovarus).
Product Code : G028
Product Category : Splints
Size : S, M, L
Key Components:
- D-Rotation Bar:
-
- A bar connecting two shoes or boots, keeping the legs in a specific position.
- Designed to maintain proper alignment and external rotation of the feet and legs.
- Traction Mechanism:
-
- Often involves adjustable straps or mechanisms to apply gentle tension or pressure.
- Helps correct alignment by providing sustained stretching or positional support.
- Corrective Shoes or Boots:
-
- Typically attached to the bar.
- Designed to hold the feet in the proper position (e.g., externally rotated) as part of the correction process.
Common Uses:
- Clubfoot (Post-Surgical or Conservative Treatment):
- Used as part of the Ponseti method (a common clubfoot treatment approach) after casting or surgery to maintain the correction.
- Tibial Torsion:
- Helps correct abnormal inward or outward rotation of the lower leg bones (tibia).
- Developmental Conditions:
- Helps guide proper growth and alignment in children with foot or leg abnormalities.
How It Works:
The D-Rotation Bar positions the feet and legs in a corrected alignment. When used with traction, the device exerts gentle, consistent tension on the muscles and ligaments, gradually realigning bones or joints. The bar is typically worn for extended periods, depending on the severity of the condition and the treatment plan.
Considerations:
- Adjustability: Most bars can be adjusted in length and angle to suit the child’s needs as they grow.
- Monitoring: Regular check-ups are necessary to ensure proper alignment and fit.
- Compliance: Since it requires long periods of wear, caregivers may need to ensure the child remains comfortable and that the device is used as prescribed.
If you’re looking into this for someone, consulting an orthopaedic specialist or pediatric orthopaedist is crucial to get the right setup and to ensure it’s used safely and effectively.
