title: [Dynamic thermoplastic cervico-thoracic orthoses in conservative and postoperative treatment of congenital torticollis].
abstract: Contention of the corrected position of the rotation and anteflexion of the head and neck is very important for the congenital torticollis. Frequent reversion of the deformity was the consequence of the unproper passive and static cast bandages or rigid plastic and more functional leather-metal orthosis. Original dynamic cervico-thoracic orthosis, made of thermoplastic material, provides progressive, individual and stable correction and contetion of the best possible head and neck position. The value of the applied orthosis is proved by the excellent results in treatment of 12 non-operated children and 16 postoperative treated children that suffered of primary myogenic torticollis.
