Love this project from Prisma Health Children's Hospital- Upstate! Thank you for helping kids and the care you show through their journey to healing. These casts look so amazing and special, just like the kids who wear them!

Orthopedic surgery can be an unnerving experience for anyone, but especially for children. The pediatric orthopedic surgical team at Greenville Memorial Hospital has created a project designed to provide children with a cheerful, personalized element in their surgical encounter.

Through the Happy Cast project, Jessica Alford, CST, and Rebekah Green, RN, created a Cast Art Book and Art Selection Sheet full of bright, kid-friendly artwork of animated characters, sports themes, cars, firetrucks, hearts and lots of other options for kids to choose from. The team of orthopedists, nurses and techs says it’s been a “real win” with the patients.

The project supports Prisma Health’s mission to provide compassionate, patient- and family-centered care while also fostering collaboration with Child Life services.

Does Hip Dysplasia treatment with bracing delay walking and crawling development? Busted: It was found in a study from the Medical University of Warsaw that patients treated with DDH bracing were only delayed at most by 3 weeks, which, they concluded, does not significantly effect on the movement development. Proper stability and anatomy for our patients is the top priority, and innovating care for KIDS with DDH and other orthopedic needs is our cause! Learn more at https://buff.ly/jX2Flmj.
