Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a leg fixation device, and more particularly to a leg fixation device for protecting the hip joint of children. Background Technology
[0002] After hip surgery, children need to be careful to prevent rotation and movement of the proximal fracture. This requires wearing a leg immobilizer to protect the corresponding part of the hip joint, thereby avoiding accidental impacts and preventing damage to the fracture site, so as to facilitate smooth postoperative healing.

A first mounting groove (13) is provided on the upper surface of the first upper guard (11). The thigh guard (1) and the first upper guard (11) are connected by a first strap (12). At least a portion of the first strap (12) passes through the first mounting groove (13). The left end of the first strap (12) is provided on the left side surface of the thigh guard (1), and the right end of the first strap (12) is provided on the right side surface of the thigh guard (1).
[0008] In one possible implementation, the upper part of the calf guard (3) has a second notch, on which a second upper guard (14) is detachably mounted. A second mounting groove (16) is provided on the upper surface of the second upper guard (14). The calf guard (3) and the second upper guard (14) are connected by a second strap (15). At least a portion of the second strap (15) passes through the second mounting groove (16). The left end of the second strap (15) is provided on the left side surface of the calf guard (3), and the right end of the second strap (15) is provided on the right side surface of the calf guard (3).
[0009] In one possible implementation, a third strap (17) is disposed on the foot pedal (4), with the left end of the third strap (17) disposed on the left side surface of the foot pedal (4) and the right end of the third strap (17) disposed on the right side surface of the foot pedal (4).
[0010] In one possible implementation, a second cavity (18) is provided between the first upper guard plate (11) and the second upper guard plate (14).
[0011] In one possible implementation, the cross-section of the first upper guard plate (11) is arc-shaped.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the cross-section of the second upper guard plate (14) is arc-shaped.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention has a simple structure and is highly practical. It incorporates a flexible padding layer inside the hip brace to improve comfort when wearing it. The resin plate not only restricts the shape of the flexible padding layer but also provides better support in conjunction with the flexible padding layer. The size of the cavity can be adjusted by tightening the resin plate and the flexible padding layer with elastic straps to accommodate children of different sizes, thus making the hip brace more comfortable to wear.
