Description:
The Vilensky Splint is an orthopedic device designed to correct leg positioning in infants up to one year old with congenital or acquired hip dysplasia. This apparatus gently holds the upper thigh in a specific position within the hip socket, helping to regulate hip angle and reduce joint stress.

Adjustable length ensures proper fit and optimal support. The abduction angle is determined by an orthopedic surgeon.
Crucial Information:
The splint should be worn continuously, except during bathing. The duration of wear (3.5 to 9+ months) is determined solely by your child’s orthopedic surgeon based on the severity of the condition. Never discontinue use without consulting your physician.
