Effectiveness of abduction orthosis for the treatment of acetabular dysplasia.

CONCLUSION: Hip abduction orthosis may be used in patients with RAD between 6 to 12 months of age. Acetabular index improvement was faster in the first three months of brace treatment. Dysplastic hips improved faster than normal hips, and prior Pavlik harness treatment did not alter the effectiveness of orthosis.
