Newport® jr Pediatric Hip Orthosis

The Newport jr hip system enhances hip stability by supporting and positioning the hips in optimal alignments while allowing controlled range of motion. The Virtual pediatric joint is the smallest and lightest hip joint available and provides control of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction. This pediatric hip orthosis can be used post-operatively to maintain the corrected surgical position, or can be provided to maximize function during activities of daily living. Improved alignment through the hip encourages appropriate acetabular and femoral modeling, and reduces the tendency for subluxation and dislocation.
