Spica Casts Are Not Uncommon

Posted in Health, Kids with tags , , , , , , , on May 20, 2008 by winningsites

Have you ever heard the term “spica”? Well, I was talking with Travis, who owns SpicaCasts.com, only to find out that their daughter, Natalie, had a condition known as hip dysplasia. This is commonly referred to as DDH. If the condition is serious enough, it is commonly corrected with surgery and the use of a spica cast which holds the hips into place while the muscles reform.

Natalie spent about 3 months in her spica cast and now wears a brace at night. She has undergone over a year of treatment and some is still required.

They just want to share their experiences with other parents who may be in the same situation. Feel free to stroll on over if you have a child or know of a parent that has a child in a spica cast.

Young mums n dads (Forum)

It’s a forum for the young mums and dads amongst us as it shows clearly on the banner. Tho it’s a verry new forum (only a couple of days old) I can see it has potential and will certainly grow in the future. The skin is slightly yellow and atractive to younger people. It’s clean, no ads and no pop ups and as far as I can see it also has a friendly staff and a couple of nice active members. The posts, not much, are usefull and not filled with useless replies.

Overall I’d give this forum a 6. Tho it is new it has potential. All it needs is some members who make it a bit more active and I’ll sure that when whe look back at it in a month or 2 it’s more active and filled!
