Abstract
An orthopedic device is provided for treating complications of the hip and has means for trochanter compression, pelvis support, lumbar compression, variously directed straps, and thigh support. The trochanter compression and an internal/external rotation strap provide pain relief through compression and skin protection, unloading of joints through compression and sealing, and unloading by load transfer. Means for adjustably dosing of straps enables pain management and ease of use.
Claims18
An orthopedic device, comprising:
- a belt located at an uppermost portion of the orthopedic device corresponding to a pelvic region;
- a lower wrap located at a lowermost portion of the orthopedic device and positioned about a knee region and extending laterally relative thereto;
- an exorotation strap extending from a medial or lateral side of the orthopedic device at the lower wrap and extending obliquely by spiraling over a thigh region to a lateral or medial side over a posterior or anterior side and toward the uppermost portion of the orthopedic device, the exorotation strap arranged to extend over a hip region of a user;
- a strut assembly connecting to the belt and the lower wrap, the strut assembly including an elongate strut extending longitudinally between the belt and lower wrap;
- a trochanter support secured to the elongate strut below an upper end of the elongate strut.

An orthopedic device, comprising:
- a belt located at an uppermost portion of the orthopedic device corresponding to a pelvic region;
- a lower wrap located at a lowermost portion of the orthopedic device located about a knee region and extending laterally;
- a posterior compression system having first and second tensioning devices secured to and arranged to extend from opposed sides of a posterior region of the belt toward an anterior region of the belt, the posterior compression system arranged to produce compression over the posterior side of the orthopedic device;
- an exorotation strap extending from a medial or lateral side of the orthopedic device at the lower wrap and extending obliquely by spiraling over a thigh region to a lateral or medial side over a posterior or anterior side and toward the uppermost portion of the orthopedic device, the exorotation strap arranged to extend over a hip region of a user, the exorotation strap having a lower end anchoring to the lower wrap and an upper end connecting to the posterior compression unit, the lower wrap and the belt resisting rotation by the exorotation strap.
