A hip spica cast is a sort of orthopedic cast used to immobilize the hip or thigh. It is used to facilitate healing of injured hip joints or of fractured femurs. A hip spica includes the trunk of the body and one or both legs. A hip spica which covers only one leg to the ankle or foot may be referred to as a single hip spica, while one which covers both legs is called a double hip spica. A one-and-a-half hip spica encases one leg to the ankle or foot and the other to just above the knee. The extent to which the hip spica covers the trunk depends greatly on the injury and the surgeon; the spica may extend only to the navel, allowing mobility of the spine and the possibility of walking with the aid of crutches, or may extend to the rib cage or even to the armpits in some rare cases.

  • A hip spica cast is a sort of orthopedic cast used to immobilize the hip or thigh. It is used to facilitate healing of injured hip joints or of fractured femurs. A hip spica includes the trunk of the body and one or both legs. A hip spica which covers only one leg to the ankle or foot may be referred to as a single hip spica, while one which covers both legs is called a double hip spica. A one-and-a-half hip spica encases one leg to the ankle or foot and the other to just above the knee. The extent to which the hip spica covers the trunk depends greatly on the injury and the surgeon; the spica may extend only to the navel, allowing mobility of the spine and the possibility of walking with the aid of crutches, or may extend to the rib cage or even to the armpits in some rare cases. Hip spicas were formerly common in reducing femoral fractures. Spica casts are used for treating hip dysplasia (developmental dislocation of hip). Spica casts are typically made using a soft padded lining, which tightly wrapped around the leg and hip joint. It is then wrapped in either a fiberglass or plaster cast. Fiberglass is generally preferred, as it is stronger than plaster and significantly lighter. It also dries faster than plaster casts. In some cases, a hip spica may only extend down one or more legs to above the knee. Such casts, called pantaloon casts, are occasionally seen to immobilize an injured lumbar spine or pelvis, in which case the trunk portion of the cast usually extends to the armpits. Some spica casts also include a cross bar attached the legs near the knee or calf to add additional stability. Spica casts have a large opening in the front and back to allow the wearer to use the toilet. For babies, the opening is large enough to tuck a diaper on the inside, and then an additional diaper is worn over the cast to keep the inside diaper in place. Many casts also include a Goretex lining, which is similar to the texture of a thin raincoat. It provides waterproofing on the inside of the cast and allows the inside to be wiped down with wipes or water as needed. (en)
  • 髋人字石膏(英語:hip spica cast)是用于固定髋部或大腿的,用于促进髋关节受伤或股骨骨折的愈合。 髋人字石膏覆盖身体的躯干和一至两条腿。只覆盖一条腿和脚踝或脚的髋关节石膏称为单髋关节石膏(single hip spica),而覆盖两条腿的则称为双髋人字石膏(double hip spica)。此外还有覆盖一条腿和脚踝或脚,另一条腿覆盖到膝盖上方的髋人字石膏,称为“one-and-a-half hip spica”。髋人字石膏覆盖躯干的程度在很大程度上取决于受伤程度;髋人字石膏可能仅延伸至肚脐,允许脊柱活动,并可借助拐杖行走,或在某些罕见情况下延伸至胸腔,甚至腋窝。 一些髋人字石膏还有一个连接在膝盖或小腿附近的横杆,以增加额外的稳定性。髋人字石膏的前部和后部都有一个大开口,让佩戴者可以使用厕所。婴儿使用的髋人字石膏的开口大到足以将尿布塞在里面,石膏上可再穿一块尿布,使里面的尿布保持在原位。 除髋人字石膏外,(titanium elastic nailing,TEN)亦可用于治疗股骨骨折,据对照研究指出,相比髋人字石膏,钛制弹性髓内钉在治疗儿童股骨干骨折方面有显著的优势。 (zh)
