Wheaton MTA Brace: replaces serial casting and corrective shoes to correct metatarsus adductus. MTA Brace may also be used to maintain correct foot positioning. The Wheaton MTA Brace fits infants up to eight months of age.
Wheaton CTEV Brace addresses all three aspects of congenital clubfoot: forefoot adductus-varus, hindfoot varus, and ankle equines. It helps correct forefoot adductus-varus using the principle of three-point fixation. It also alleviates hindfoot varus by holding the heel securely in neutral and helps correct ankle equines by keeping the ankle at 90 to stretch the Achilles tendon. Fits children from birth up to 36 months.
Which brace do you need?
Ankle angle is the major difference between these two braces. The Wheaton MTA Brace sets the ankle at 15 equinus to prevent iatrogenic heel valgus during correction. The Wheaton CTEV Brace sets the ankle at 90 (neutral), which is necessary to prevent achilles tendon contractures in children who have begun walking.
Both braces are made of foam-lined plastic and are not to be used for ambulation.
Suggested code: L1930.
