Hip Displasia - Rhino Hip Abduction Brace

Right hip dysplasia. This 7-year-old female has no allergies, is not taking any medications and has had no surgery. I measured her today for a rhino brace. She will fit in a size extra small. I trimmed the foam down to appropriate size. I explained donning, doffing, wear, and care procedures as well as how to assist the patient in sleeping in the brace by propping up her feet and legs with a pillow. We could not release the brace to the patient today due to insurance issues.
