Rationale: If stabilization of the hip is required, a cast is initially applied. This is kept in place for 3 to 6 months until the hip is stabilized. After this is completed, and if further treatment is required, a Pavlik harness is the treatment of choice next. A Pavlik harness is a removable ab-duction brace. This is a procedure that requires the brace be checked every 1 to 2 weeks for ad-justment of the straps. The use of double diapering is not recommended for DDH because of the possibility of hip extension. Because there are straps applied to the child's skin, it is important to check the skin of the child frequently.
