Which device corresponds to hip surgery (partial and total hip surgery)?

• A. Night Splint
• B. Internal Rotator Board
• C. Shantz Collar Brace
• D. Basket Cast

Answer: (B)

After hip surgery, controlling how the leg sits and rotates during healing is essential to protect the new joint and prevent dislocation. The internal rotator board is a positioning device designed specifically to manage hip rotation postoperatively, helping keep the leg in a safe alignment during recovery from partial or total hip arthroplasty. The other devices serve different purposes: a night splint is typically used for foot/ankle conditions, a Shantz collar brace is for cervical spine stabilization, and a basket cast is a general immobilization cast not tailored to hip-specific positioning.
