Features of a bandage for the hip joint for coxarthrosis

Often, people who are bothered by pain in the hip joint (thigh) come to the ArthroMedCenter joint and spine clinic. The cause of pain, as a rule, is arthrosis of the hip joint (coxarthrosis) - a degenerative-dystrophic disease of the hip joint. The symptoms and treatment of this disease should be determined by qualified medical professionals, since this disease can provoke the development of serious pathologies.

"ArthroMedCenter" offers its patients treatment of the hip joint using innovative methods that eliminate the cause of the disease, stimulate restoration of the joint at the cellular level, prevent the destruction of bone and cartilage tissue, and not just temporarily get rid of symptoms.

The advantages of treating the hip joint at ArthroMedCenter are:

  • Clarifying the diagnosis and assessing the possibility of non-surgical treatment
  • Unique specialists
  • Innovative effective treatment without surgery
  • No pain, injections or side effects
  • Long-term effect of the therapy
  • Eliminating the causes of the disease, not the symptoms
  • No need for hospital treatment
  • 100% regeneration of cartilage and bone tissue after completing the course

Treatment of the hip joint using the MBST method

In accordance with the results obtained, the doctor determines the exact diagnosis and prescribes appropriate treatment for the hip joint. As a rule, this is drug therapy aimed at reducing pain, as well as localizing the root cause of the disease. In particularly advanced cases, as well as in situations with elderly patients, surgical intervention is also possible, which, however, due to certain factors, is not widespread in our country and has a number of disadvantages.

And if just recently the problem seemed almost insoluble, today treatment of the hip joint can be carried out using unique and unparalleled magnetic resonance therapy. The technique is based on the restoration of cartilage tissue by applying a magnetic field to the damaged area, followed by a reaction from hydrogen atoms. As a result of the impact, the regenerative capabilities of the body are enhanced, degenerative processes that destroy bones and joints are reduced and then completely stopped, and the damaged structure of ligaments, bones, tendons and cartilage is healed more quickly.

MBST therapy, used in the ArthroMedCenter clinic, is a technology that consistently demonstrates amazing effectiveness in the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The effectiveness of the technique is in no way inferior to traditional surgical intervention, while in a number of factors it is simply superior to it. And this despite the fact that MBST does not have the slightest relation to surgical methods in particular and invasive methods of treatment in general.

By influencing cartilage tissue, MBST therapy helps restore its energy potential, as a result of which regenerative processes are activated, restoring cartilage tissue to its original state. Practice shows that after 3 months they are restored by about 30%, which is quite enough for the normal functioning of the joint. But the process does not stop there, continuing for another 5 years, until the damaged area is completely regenerated.

The course of treatment is prescribed by the attending physician - in each case it is individual and depends on the complexity of the disease, its degree and the physiological characteristics of the patient’s body. The standard program includes 5 – 7 – 9 procedures.

Immobilizing hip fixators

Immobilizing products provide maximum support for a sore joint. However, such fixing devices come in different types and perform different functions. Since the hip joint has a complex anatomical structure and large size, it is very difficult to fix it with simple means - plaster, splint, splint. Therefore, it is necessary to use larger devices capable of holding the joint in place in a physiologically correct position. In this capacity are: orthoses, splints, bandages.

All these devices differ in their purpose:

  1. A bandage is a soft tissue retainer that is used as a preventive measure after minor injuries or joint diseases. The use of a fabric bandage relieves the joint, provides it with maximum support and eliminates pain.
  2. Orthoses or splints are rigid products whose design includes metal or plastic elements. They are used for fractures of the femoral neck as a plaster cast, after surgery, when complete immobilization is necessary.

In addition to their purpose, fixing devices also differ in appearance:

  1. The hip bandage is attached with special clamps to the thigh and to the belt. This is a soft elastic fabric that is highly breathable and is attached to the belt using Velcro fasteners.
  2. Orthoses are rigid structures that are supplemented with metal and plastic elements. These rigid elements provide durable protection to the injured joint from further injury. The orthosis is fixed to the joint using lacing and straps.
  3. Splints are very similar to orthoses, but, unlike the latter, they are additionally equipped with hinges. Splints also come in moderate and strong fixation. They are used for fractures and serious pathologies of the hip joint. A splint is an analogue of a plaster splint.

Depending on the level of rigidity, there are:

  1. Soft. This group includes bandages made of soft elastic fabric. Inside, the product is equipped with special pads that provide reliable fixation.
  2. Semi-rigid. This type includes orthoses that are equipped with special plates that provide moderate fixation. Such orthoses fit tightly to the joint and stabilize it. The outer part of the orthosis is made of soft fabric, providing the greatest stability of the device on the hip.
  3. Rigid orthoses, also called splints, have metal or plastic elements in their design. These elements completely immobilize the joint, so they are used during the rehabilitation period after serious injuries and surgical interventions.

Hinge devices are equipped with special fasteners that support the damaged joint when walking. As a rule, orthoses with a rigid degree of fixation are equipped with hinges. They are used for complete immobilization after serious injuries.

Hingeless devices are a one-piece structure with a rigid degree of fixation. This model has plastic and plastic elements in its design. These models are used for fractures of the hip joint.

The following classification divides bandages into:

  • one-sided rigid;
  • double sided hard.

A one-sided rigid bandage consists of two elements that are connected to each other. The first part of the structure is attached to the patient’s waist, and the second – to the thigh. Between the parts of the orthosis there is a special mount for adjusting movements. The function of this orthosis is precisely the regulation of movements. Using the fastening, which is located between the two parts, control over the movements is exercised: moving the leg to the side, raising the top, lowering down.

This type of orthosis is made of durable plastic or metal. You should not select such an orthosis yourself; it can only be prescribed by a doctor, since there are various models of such a device. It is prescribed to both adults and children strictly as prescribed. The device tightly fixes the patient’s hips, preventing displacement and repeated damage.

This orthosis is used in the following cases:

  • during the process after endoprosthetics;
  • rehabilitation after any other operation;
  • dislocations, subluxations and fractures of the femoral neck;
  • osteotomy;
  • replacement of joint parts with artificial components;
  • resection of the femoral head;
  • tendon rupture.

Rigid unilateral orthoses are used in cases where it is necessary to completely or partially immobilize the patient for some time. Very often, such devices have additional straps, fasteners and even more rigid fixing devices in their design.

This model of orthosis performs the following functions:

  • eliminates pain;
  • stabilizes and fixes the hip joint;
  • reduces the load on the damaged area.

Bilateral rigid orthoses are used in cases where it is necessary to control the movements of the hip joint or ensure complete immobility of the pelvic joints. Most often they are used after hip surgery. This product provides rigid fixation and immobility of the hip in a certain position, and also prevents repeated damage to the joint. Sometimes such orthoses are supplemented with auxiliary hinges that regulate the level of hip fixation.

There are designs of double-sided orthoses equipped with special rollers, which provide a massage effect, which improves blood supply to the thigh and pelvis. In addition, the device has special soft inserts that do not rub the skin or put pressure on the joint and soft tissues surrounding it.

Double-sided rigid fixtures use:

  • after surgical interventions on the hip joint;
  • with severe pain;
  • to fix the femoral head.

Among children, girls are more likely to need braces. They often have congenital dysplasia - a deviation in the position of the hip joint. In other words, congenital dislocation of the hip. This problem arises as a result of intrauterine underdevelopment of all parts of the hip joint. If this problem is not eliminated in infancy, then later the child’s gait is disturbed, lameness appears, the body tilts to one side, as a result of which scoliosis develops (curvature of the spine). Therefore, treatment for congenital hip dislocation should be started as early as possible. Timely therapy will allow you to avoid surgical intervention in the future.

In this case, a rigid hip orthosis for dysplasia is simply irreplaceable. It is made in the form of a durable plastic product, which is fixed on the child’s shoulders with special tapes, and on the hips with Velcro fasteners. This device is worn on the child over clothes and a diaper. The duration of wearing the orthosis is determined by a pediatric orthopedist. The size of the product is selected depending on the age of the child.

Thus, there are several models of children's orthoses:

  • hard;
  • rigid with special fixation;
  • combined;
  • fabric bandages.

The rigid hip orthosis is made entirely of thick plastic and reliably fixes the femoral head. Such an orthosis immobilizes the child in such a way that it does not allow him to move independently.

A rigid orthosis with fixation has special hinges in its design that allow the child to move. This orthosis controls the degree of abduction of the leg to the side, as well as its elevation. This special one performs the abductor function of the hip.

A combined orthosis is a device with special splints and spacers. When using such an orthosis, the child can move around because the joint is not fixed as tightly as a rigid orthosis with fixation.

The fabric bandage consists of an elastic frame, but its base is soft elastic fabric. As a rule, such a bandage is used for mild dislocations and sprains, when there is no need for rigid fixation.

Treatment of Osteoporosis using MBST method

Effect of MBST therapy on cartilage tissue

Treatment of the hip joint with MBST therapy allows you to achieve the following effects:

  • improving the elasticity, density and thickness of articular cartilage
  • removal of edema
  • restoration of bone density
  • improving blood supply to bone tissue

This means that joint pain goes away, the range of motion in the joints and gait improves and is restored, as the cause of the disease is eliminated.

Timeframe for onset of effect:

depend on the depth and duration of the destructive process, the severity of the pain syndrome. A primary analgesic effect from moderate to pronounced can be observed by the end of the course of treatment in 75% of patients; within 3-6 months it can be of a changing nature with a constant tendency to improve. In 50% of patients, a mild exacerbation is observed, which can occur during the 2-4th procedure and end by the 5th-7th procedure. Clearly visible MRI dynamics in cartilage and bone tissues are expected from 6 to 9 months after completion of the course of treatment.

Performance criteria:

A study conducted in 2013, which analyzed the results of treatment of coxarthrosis in 673 patients, showed the high effectiveness of MBST therapy in relieving pain in the hip joint and improving function by 40-70% of the initial level.

Indications for use

The difficulty of restoring the hip joint after injuries or various pathologies is associated with objective reasons:

  • this is the most complex joint of the body due to its size and anatomical features;
  • the cartilaginous tissues that make up it grow together at a slow pace.

These factors are significantly complicated by age-related characteristics - in elderly patients, joints and bones are more fragile, since the concentration of salts in them increases, which negatively affects the strength of the tissue.

The use of rehabilitation means is associated with injuries in the corresponding area, diseases of bone tissue, as well as after operations on different parts of the hip joint:

  • femoral neck injuries of any kind;
  • endoprosthesis replacement surgery, which is performed once per patient;
  • secondary operations on the joint (for example, to replace a prosthesis);
  • direct, incomplete and other types of fractures of the greater trochanter;
  • arthropathy – joint damage caused by many internal disorders (infections, disruptions in the endocrine system, etc.);
  • recovery after corrective osteotomy – operations to correct various bone deformities;
  • recovery after femoral head resection surgery - complete removal of the femoral head and neck to form a new joint;
  • tendon ruptures in relevant areas;
  • childhood dysplasia is a congenital anomaly in the structure of the hip joint;
  • chronic arthrosis and arthritis - degenerative and inflammatory processes in the bones, leading to their destruction;
  • chronic coxarthrosis is a gradual destruction of the joint associated with poor blood supply to the bones and insufficiently intense metabolic processes in bone tissue.

Note! The bandage is often used as a preventive measure during sports training. It protects the joint from mechanical damage associated with falls or collisions with heavy objects.

Hip joint fixators perform 2 important functions:

  1. They help redistribute the body's load, due to which less pressure is placed on the affected area than on the healthy one. Thanks to this, rehabilitation after injuries proceeds at a faster pace.
  2. Thanks to them, it is possible to protect the affected joint from injury.

Several specialists can help you choose a tutor and provide detailed advice:

  • orthopedists;
  • rheumatologists;
  • traumatologists.

Note! Choosing a device is a responsible decision. Therefore, before purchasing it, consult your doctor, even if you decide to use it as a preventive measure.

Before you start choosing a bandage, you need to find out in what cases wearing it is advisable and in what cases it is undesirable.

Soft products can be used as a preventive measure for diseases of the hip joint, minor injuries, bruises and sprains. Such products are used every day to unload the joint and relieve tension in the tailbone, spine and leg. Orthoses and braces are used in more complex cases, usually during the rehabilitation period after serious operations and injuries (fractures, dislocations and subluxations of the femoral neck and hip joint).

Bandage and orthosis are used:

  • for fractures of the femoral neck and hip joint in the elderly;
  • during the rehabilitation period after operations;
  • for hip dysplasia in newborns;
  • if necessary, stabilize the joint;
  • for arthrosis and arthritis;
  • with a fracture of the femoral neck;
  • with chronic destruction of the cartilage of the hip joint.

There are no direct contraindications to the use of the orthosis. However, it is better not to wear it in the following cases:

  • for diseases of the skin in the thigh area;
  • with bleeding wounds;
  • for some chronic diseases;
  • in the presence of complications in the postoperative period;
  • in case of individual intolerance to the material from which the orthosis is made (meaning plastic and metal products).

At ArthroMedCenter you can get qualified help for the following diseases:

  • Joint pain;
  • Arthrosis / Coxarthrosis;
  • Arthritis;
  • Damage to bones, ligaments, muscles and tendons;
  • Synovitis;
  • Damage to the capsular-ligamentous apparatus of the hip joint;
  • Aseptic necrosis;
  • Recovery after endoprosthetics, etc.

Pain in the hip joint is a rather painful syndrome, the presence of which is characteristic of a whole range of pathologies. This is not surprising, because it is this joint that bears all the load coming from the human body. Any, even minor, problems in its operation can cause a significant restriction of freedom of movement and movement, and ignoring them can lead to very sad consequences. That is why, at the first signs of pain, you should contact the specialists of the ArthroMedCenter clinic - the treatment they prescribed for the hip joint will allow you to get rid of the disease in the shortest possible time and return to your normal lifestyle.

Double-sided rigid design

The one-sided design is made in the form of two rigid parts that are connected to each other to form a movable structure. One part is attached to the waist, the other is fixed to the thigh.

The mobility of the system is ensured thanks to the hinge. Thus, the patient can move his legs and torso in a comfortable manner.

thanks to the hinge, the patient can bend and straighten the leg

The purpose of a rigid adjustable unilateral orthosis is related to its performance of the following functions:

  • reduction of pain when moving;
  • reliable fixation of the joint for a faster recovery period;
  • reducing the load on the damaged area, which ensures a faster rehabilitation process.

Thus, the bandage and orthosis on the hip joint are used not only as means of rehabilitation, but also as an additional measure of protection for chronic diseases of bones and joints.

This type of splint provides full control of leg abduction to a certain angle. Thanks to this, new injury due to involuntary movements of the patient is virtually eliminated. Thus, on the one hand, the joint is protected from mechanical damage, and on the other, the victim receives a certain freedom of movement.

Important! It is impossible to choose a double-sided design without the advice of a doctor, since to make such a purchase it is important to take into account circumstances that only an experienced specialist can analyze.

The adjustable hip orthosis for coxarthrosis of this type consists of 2 parts. The first is attached to the belt, and the second to the thigh. Between them there is a connecting element - a hinge, which limits the movement of the leg. A unilateral pelvic splint regulates the elevation, descent, and abduction of the limb. It applies in the following cases:

  • Tendon rupture, as well as bone fractures.
  • Rehabilitation after operations.
  • Trauma to the femoral neck and head.
  • Recovery after endoprosthetics.
  • Coxarthrosis.
  • Displacement of bones.

The device is used for coxarthrosis

Fixation of the articular joint in this way is carried out to completely or partially immobilize the injured limb. You can also additionally use belts and fastenings. In addition to immobilizing the joint, the orthosis for coxarthrosis relieves it, thereby reducing pain.

A double-sided splint for coxarthrosis is designed to completely immobilize the leg, as well as to move it to a certain position. It is made of plastic or metal. Since the structure is immovable, there is a high probability of circulatory disturbance in the fixed limb. To prevent this phenomenon, vibrating rollers are used. They perform micromassage, thereby improving blood flow. The design may contain soft inserts against skin chafing.

Products for babies

For children, splints are prescribed not only in connection with injuries, but also for congenital abnormalities in the hip joint:

  • dysplasia;
  • dislocation;
  • hip subluxation.

Typically, rigid corsets or devices are used that abduct the hips and hold them in the desired position (splint spacer). A special bandage made from soft, elastic materials is also used.

  • soft fabric items cannot be washed in a washing machine, bleached, ironed or wringed vigorously; hand washing with baby soap in slightly warm water is preferable;
  • dry the fabric product without stretching it, it is better to do this on a flat surface;
  • you cannot hang a bandage, in this case it will stretch and lose its shape;
  • Do not dry the product in radiators or the sun.

Metal or plastic orthoses must always be kept clean; they must be wiped every day with a soft knitted cloth.

Causes of pain in the hip joint

Among the most common provoking factors, the following are especially worth highlighting:

  • Mechanical injuries of the femur, pelvic bones and articular joints;
  • Diseases of a systemic nature, including ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis and others;
  • Inflammatory processes occurring in the tendons;
  • Arthrosis, arthritis, osteomyelitis and other similar diseases;
  • Blood diseases, including those of an oncological nature;
  • Tuberculosis of the joints, spine or bones;
  • Increased loads on the lower limbs.

This problem is especially observed in older people, athletes and those who experience problems with excess weight.

Hip joint: symptoms of the disease, treatment

Among the symptoms indicating the presence of the disease are:

  • Spontaneous pain manifestations affect the hip area for no apparent reason;
  • Any physical stress provokes pain - at the first stage significant, then with reduced intensity. In later stages it can occur even at rest;
  • Some stiffness of movements is felt;
  • There is a feeling of stiffness in the joints, and they themselves almost completely lose their mobility;
  • There is a persistent feeling of joint instability;
  • The localization of pain is not limited to the pelvic area, spreading to the groin, abdomen and thighs, affecting both one leg and two at once.

If you have any symptoms, we advise you to seek advice from a specialist as soon as possible. Diagnostics will allow you to begin timely treatment of the hip joint, which will avoid the risk of developing serious pathologies and allow you to forget about pain.

Diagnostics

Effective treatment of the hip joint first begins with an accurate diagnosis, since the symptoms of pain and dysfunction of the hip joint can hide a number of diseases - arthrosis, aseptic necrosis, muscle contracture of the joint, synovitis, etc.

To make a diagnosis, our specialists first fully examine the patient, identify all complaints and features of the course of the disease, study previous treatment experience, and available research results. If there is insufficient information, a rational further examination is prescribed, among which we attach the most important importance to MRI diagnostics, since it allows you to visually assess the condition of all tissues of the joint - cartilage, bone, muscle-tendon, and will reveal ligament damage and the presence of inflammatory fluid.

To clarify the diagnosis, other examinations may also be necessary:

  • CT scan;;
  • Radiography;
  • Ultrasound;
  • Blood test (for rheumatological process, gout).

Such diagnostic studies make it possible to make a reliable diagnosis and select appropriate treatment for the hip joint. If you notice the symptoms described above, you should make an appointment with a doctor.

Hip joint treatment methods

Treatment of the hip joint can be carried out in different ways. The most common treatment methods are:

  • Drug treatment of the hip joint.
  • Physiotherapy.
  • Wearing orthopedic accessories.
  • Surgical intervention.

However, almost all of these methods (except for surgery) do not bring long-term results, and if there is an effect immediately after completing the course, then after some time the pain returns. ArthroMedCenter uses a radically different approach - nuclear magnetic resonance therapy. Treatment of the hip joint with this method is as safe as possible for the patient, allows you to prevent surgical intervention and lasts for several years, quickly relieving a person of pain, and most importantly, promoting the restoration of cartilage tissue. Thus, the cause of the disease goes away!

Important! When choosing an orthosis for recovery after surgery or against the background of chronic joint diseases, you first of all need to pay attention to the suitability of the type of device for the required purpose. The price factor in such situations always plays the last role.

How the hip joint is treated at the ArthroMedCenter clinic

If you are faced with such an unpleasant disease as hip joint disease (arthrosis, osteoporosis, etc.), you do not have to go to the hospital to undergo long-term treatment with drugs. To restore bone and cartilage structures, it will be enough to undergo several procedures (usually 7-10 times are enough), taking only 1 hour a day.

To restore mobility, relieve pain and improve your quality of life, you need to pre-register for an initial consultation by calling the phone number listed on the website. The doctor will select for you an individual program according to which the hip joint will be treated, and after 2-6 weeks you will be able to return to a normal lifestyle and forget about pain! The cost of the course depends on the severity of the disease and the area of ​​treatment.

Rules for selecting an orthosis

When selecting an orthosis, it is important to consider the following factors:

  1. Compliance of the type of product with the required purpose: recovery after injury, treatment of a joint disease or preventive measure.
  2. Correct selection of splint material.
  3. The correct size to ensure the most comfortable wearing of the device.

The simplest choice involves determining the size of the hip orthosis. It is specified based on the patient’s waist and hip circumference. The corresponding data is given in the table.

orthosis sizewaist circumference, cmhip circumference, cm
S65-8242-52
M83-9553-62
L96-11163-65
XL112-12866-70

The material of the orthosis largely affects its price. The most common types of material are:

  • thermoplastics;
  • metal alloys;
  • carbon fiber;
  • EVA (organic polymer).

The porous structure of the fabric ensures free ventilation of the skin.

Caring for orthoses is very simple - just clean it in a soapy solution when it gets dirty. The bandage can only be washed by hand in non-hot water. There is no need to use special detergents - ordinary soap or powders are enough. It is also not worth squeezing the material - you just need to leave it spread out on a flat surface until it dries completely.

In addition! Caring for the splint is very important not only to increase the service life of the product, but also for patient hygiene. If rashes and red spots form at the site of contact with the orthosis, it means that the wear is too tight. It is better to consult a doctor so that such phenomena do not occur.

Choosing the right tutor is not an easy, but completely solvable task. If you correctly correlate all the parameters and set priorities, you can easily find the optimal model.

An incorrectly selected orthosis can only worsen the patient’s condition. In order for a fixation device to have a therapeutic effect, you need to know how to choose it correctly. Purchasing an orthosis based on reviews from the Internet is very dangerous. Only a competent specialist is able to correctly prescribe a fixation device, taking into account the individual anatomical characteristics of the patient, as well as the degree of injury to the joint.

But the brand and manufacturer of the product are the patient’s personal preferences. However, it is still necessary to purchase fixing devices in specialized salons and clinics; in this case, you can accurately select the size and degree of fixation. In addition, a product purchased in specialized places can be returned (in case of discomfort and other problems), and this will also avoid counterfeiting of famous brands.

So, when choosing an orthosis, you must consider the following criteria:

  • size;
  • comfort;
  • structural strength;
  • degree of hardness (according to doctor’s indications);
  • fastening level;
  • purpose.

When using orthoses, problems often arise that prevent one from fully appreciating the benefits of such products. Therefore, it is necessary to use orthoses and bandages correctly in everyday life:

  1. It is necessary to wear the orthosis while lying down, since in this position the muscles surrounding the hip joint are better relaxed. This fact allows you to more tightly fix the orthosis on the damaged area.
  2. The orthosis is worn over thin cotton stockings, this way sweat is better absorbed and the skin is protected from irritation that occurs from friction.
  3. It is recommended to remove the product at night, this way the orthosis is ventilated and prevents the appearance of an unpleasant odor.
  4. If some problems occur during the operation of the product, its further use is strictly prohibited.
  5. It is also prohibited to independently repair or disassemble structures, since the product may lose its medicinal qualities.

It is best to buy a thigh brace in an adjustable form with Velcro fasteners. This way, if your body weight changes, you won’t have to buy a new orthopedic device.

It is necessary to put on the product for the first time under the supervision of a doctor in order to eliminate various malfunctions in its design. Only a correctly selected product contributes to the restoration of the hip joint.

The choice of bandage should be made especially carefully. It needs to be the right size and comfortable to wear. In case of severe injuries or illnesses, the bandage should be selected under the competent supervision of a doctor. But there are general guidelines for purchasing a device that can help you with your choice. A soft retainer is selected based only on them, and a hard retainer is selected with the participation of a specialist.

Fixing type of device

General recommendations:

  1. First you need to determine your size. To do this, take a measuring tape and measure the pelvic circumference and middle part of the thigh with it. The size must match exactly. If you make a mistake with it, the corset will either rub a lot or will not fix the damaged area.
  2. Before purchasing a product, try it on. Make sure you're comfortable in it. If it feels even a little tight, then look for another model.
  3. The manufacturer also matters. Do not buy a very cheap orthosis made in China, but also avoid the most expensive one. Choose the middle option, good quality.
  4. You should buy a model with soft inserts. They will contribute to minimal compression and prevent discomfort from wearing.
  5. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the composition of the bandage. In order not to purchase a device that will cause you an allergic reaction.

Carry out the first fitting of the corset under the strict guidance of an orthopedist. Especially if you need a rigid hinge splint. Wearing it in accordance with the doctor's advice will improve your quality of life and relieve various complications that arise after operations or injuries. With the help of a bandage, they prolong the period of remission, maintain the ability to move independently, relieve pain and eliminate discomfort.
