The Vilensky splint is a sliding bar device with a central screw and cuffs at each end. The cuffs, secured with laces, fit around the lower third of the legs, allowing for adjustable hip abduction and reducing joint stress. It's used independently or in conjunction with other treatments, such as Mirzoeva or Koshlya splints, as part of a progressive therapeutic approach.
Precise sizing of a Vilensky splint is paramount for successful treatment and is determined exclusively by an orthopedic surgeon. Incorrect sizing can hinder or even worsen the condition. The surgeon considers the child's age, the type and severity of hip dysplasia, and the child's overall activity level.
This information is for educational purposes only. Always consult with an orthopedic surgeon to determine the appropriate Vilensky splint size for your child. Self-treating can be harmful.
