AI Article Synopsis
- A prospective pilot study developed a personalized hip brace for treating hip subluxation in 19 children (ages 1-15) with severe cerebral palsy.
- The customized braces were based on 3D scans, worn for 7 days, and assessed for outcomes like Hip Migration Index and range of motion.
- Results showed significant improvements in hip alignment, positive effects on quality of life, and potential for better compliance in preventing subluxation.
Article Abstract
This prospective pilot study aimed to develop a personalized hip brace for treating hip subluxation in children with cerebral palsy. Nineteen children, aged 1-15, with severe cerebral palsy participated in the study. Customized hip braces were created based on 3D scanner measurements and worn for 7 days. The primary outcome, Hip Migration Index (MI), and secondary outcomes, including range of motion (ROM) in the hip and knee joints, pain intensity, satisfaction, discomfort scores, CPCHILD, and wearability test, were assessed. The MI and ROM were assessed at screening and at Visit 1 (when the new hip brace was first worn), while other indicators were evaluated at screening, Visit 1, and Visit 2 (7 days after wearing the new hip brace). The study demonstrated significant improvements in the MI for the right hip, left hip, and both sides. However, there were no statistically significant differences in hip and knee joint ROM. Other indicators showed significant changes between screening, Visit 1, and Visit 2. The study suggests that customized hip braces effectively achieved immediate correction, positively impacting the quality of life and satisfaction in children with cerebral palsy. Furthermore, the hip braces have the potential to enhance compliance and prevent hip subluxation.Clinical Trial Registration number: NCT05388422.

Aims: This study aims to define a set of family-centred core outcomes for infants undergoing brace treatment to facilitate consistent reporting for future high-quality research.
Methods: Family-centred outcomes will be identified through a literature review and a scoping survey involving key stakeholders, including parents, healthcare professionals, and researchers. These outcomes will then be rated for their perceived importance in a two-stage modified Delphi process with the same stakeholders.
Antiphase Trunk Motion Reduces Sway Velocity and Ankle Torque During Quiet Stance.

College of Medicine, The Pennsylvania State University, Hershey, PA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how antiphase trunk motion affects quiet stance stability without changes in visual or surface conditions.
- Wearing a rigid orthotic brace that limited trunk motion, researchers compared sway characteristics across different brace conditions.
- Findings revealed that allowing antiphase motion reduced trunk and leg sway velocities and highlighted the relationship between trunk movement and ankle torque, suggesting that this motion is crucial for maintaining balance, especially in predicting postural issues due to various factors.
Optimizing time in harness : factors associated with sonographic resolution of developmental dysplasia of the hip during Pavlik treatment.

Division of Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, Texas Children's Hospital, Houston, Texas, USA.
Aims: The primary aims of this study were to determine the time to sonographic correction of decentred hips during treatment with Pavlik harness for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and investigate potential risk factors for a delayed response to treatment.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of infants with decentred hips who underwent a comprehensive management protocol with Pavlik harness between 2012 and 2016. Ultrasound assessments were performed at standardized intervals and time to correction from centring of the femoral head was quantified.
Effectiveness of Total Hip Arthroplasty Combined With Hip Braces for Hip Charcot Arthropathy.
Orthop Surg

Objective: Charcot arthropathy is characterized by varying degrees of sensory loss and rapidly progressive joint destruction. Historically, limited studies indicated that Charcot arthropathy of the hip joint may be a contraindication for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Yet, some recent studies have shown that good clinical results and acceptable survival rate.

Case: This is a case of a 6-year-old patient diagnosed with Gorham-Stout disease (GSD), a rare lymphangiogenic skeletal disorder, localized to the left femur. Initial nonoperative treatment with pharmaceuticals and bracing was unsuccessful. We describe a definitive operative treatment with radical femoral resection and a modified rotationplasty technique through a tibiopelvic rotational hip arthroplasty.
