Why use hip splints and braces? When you've had hip or pelvic surgery or an injury, you may need to wear a hip brace during recovery. There are hip stabilizers and hip braces. These are both types of hip orthotics. They also provide support when you have an injury or need to heal. What is a hip brace? In the hip-knee braces, a soft band or sleeve wraps around your thigh and connects to the hip part of the brace. A hip-knee brace aligns and supports both parts of your body. The goal of a hip brace is to stabilize your hip and pelvic area after trauma. It can also: Balance your walk Limit range of motion Act as a shock absorber Align your hip, pelvis, and knee Redistribute pressure on your hip and pelvis What to expect when wearing a hip brace You may have to wear your hip brace 24 hours a day unless your doctor says otherwise. Wearing a brace takes getting used to. It can help to remember it's temporary. You'll find that sitting upright is difficult, but that's typical. Getting up from low seating may be challenging. For added comfort, wear thin and snug cotton leggings underneath your brace. Never let the brace sit on your bare skin. Common conditions that require wearing a hip brace Hip braces can keep your hip and pelvic area stable while conditions heal, including: Hip fracture Hip dysplasia Osteoarthritis Hip dislocation Femoral head resection Hip replacement recovery Post-operative hip revision In addition to stabilization, hip braces provide compression to your body.
