Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Orthopaedics
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Device Design

Background:

  • Hip spica casting is a common treatment for pediatric orthopaedic conditions.
  • Standardized hip spica tables are not universally available, leading to varied center-specific designs.
  • Existing designs may lack portability, sturdiness, or cost-effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and describe a novel, lightweight, sturdy, economical, and portable hip spica table.
  • To provide a standardized and accessible solution for hip spica application in pediatric patients.
  • To evaluate the long-term usability and durability of the designed hip spica table.

Main Methods:

  • Collaboration with a local engineering team to develop the hip spica table design.
  • Detailed description of the table's components and measurements.
  • Documentation of the technique for patient mounting and unmounting.
  • Clinical application of the table in 141 pediatric patients over a 14-year period.

Main Results:

  • The designed hip spica table is lightweight, sturdy, economical, and portable.
  • Successfully used in 141 children aged 6 months to 10 years between 2009 and 2023.
  • No table breakages reported; acrylic sheet replacement needed only once due to attrition.
  • Demonstrated durability and reliability over 14 years of use.

Conclusions:

  • The developed hip spica table is a simple, economical, portable, and durable solution.
  • Suitable for use in dedicated pediatric orthopedic centers.
  • Easily transportable for use in field hospitals or resource-limited settings.
