The Fosta FS 6870 hip joint orthosis offers superior support and stabilization for individuals recovering from hip injuries or surgeries. This high-quality orthosis is designed to provide strong fixation and reliable muscle support, aiding in the rehabilitation process.

Ideal for a range of conditions, including:

• Post-Total Hip Replacement: Provides crucial stability and support during the recovery period following total hip arthroplasty.
• Hip Fracture Recovery: Assists in the healing process after a hip fracture, particularly a femoral neck fracture, by reducing stress on the joint.
• Hip Instability: Offers support and stability for individuals experiencing hip instability due to various causes.
• Post-Surgical Immobilization: Provides effective immobilization following surgical procedures such as hip resection.
• Prophylaxis against Hip Prosthesis Loosening: Helps prevent loosening or dislocation of hip prostheses.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Customizable Fit: The upper and lower splints feature two height-adjustable screws each, ensuring a personalized fit for various body types. The universal size accommodates waist circumferences from 85 to 120 cm.
• Adjustable Hinges: The lateral support hinge allows for precise adjustment of hip abduction/adduction. The pelvic tilt mechanism offers adjustable angles from 0 to 120 degrees in 20-degree increments. This adaptability allows for tailored support based on individual needs and recovery stages.
• Superior Stabilization: The orthosis combines a knee-level cuff and a plastic pelvic belt connected by a movable splint. This design effectively reduces stress on the hip joint while maintaining patient mobility. Rigidity can be adjusted depending on the severity of the condition. Stiffer models with metal hinges may be used for severe fractures, injuries, and dislocations.
• Comfort and Breathability: Constructed from breathable, lightweight materials for enhanced comfort during prolonged wear.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for use in the treatment of various conditions, including myositis and minor strains. In some cases, it can also provide a warming effect and pain relief while maintaining mobility (e.g., inflammation, contusions, coxarthrosis, and rheumatic pain).

Important Considerations:

The Fosta FS 6870 hip orthosis should only be used as directed by a healthcare professional. Improper use or selection of an orthosis may worsen the condition. Consult your physician or physical therapist to determine if this device is appropriate for your specific needs.
