Description

A rigid metal bar designed to hold the feet (or hips/legs) in an outward and externally rotated position to maintain correction of deformities such as clubfoot (congenital talipes equinovarus). The bar connects to separate footplates or compatible shoes to achieve proper foot alignment.

Size

Sizes are typically based on bar length to match the child’s shoulder width: smaller lengths for infants, larger for older children.

Key Features

• Rigid foot abduction bar made of lightweight metal for strength and minimal weight
• Adjustable length to match shoulder-width positioning
• Can be fitted with compatible footplates or orthopedic shoes (sold separately)
• Designed for pediatric use with adjustable angles of rotation

Indications

• Maintain corrected foot or hip position after initial treatment of clubfoot (CTEV)
• Part of conservative management of congenital deformities requiring foot or hip abduction alignment
