Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to: 1) investigate the effectiveness of waterproof spica cast using Delta-Dry® Pantaloon and cast padding (BSN medical, USA) versus standard gortex pantaloon with cotton cast padding in maintaining the femur fracture and developmental dysplasia of the hip reduction after application of hip spica; 2) evaluate the overall quality ratings of both cast paddings from the perspectives of the patient and the clinicians; and 3) determine the cost difference between the both cast paddings.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Effectiveness as a measure of change in ratings at different time points	The primary outcome (effectiveness) will be measured based on the change in ratings to the following variables/factors using a 10 point likert scale (1 being very poor and 10 being excellent): Comfort, Ability for the cast to dry if it became wet, Cast odor, Cast durability, Protection from skin irritation, Ease of care in the cast, Ease of Application, Padding Aesthetics, Application Time, Skin Condition, Lack of Maceration / Excoriation, Cast Odor, Padding Condition, and Ease of Removal.; These will be collected at baseline, 2, 6 and 12 weeks post-application.	Baseline, 2, 6 and 12 weeks post-application
Secondary	Quality	The secondary outcome (quality) will be measured based on rating to the following using a 10 point likert scale (1 being very poor and 10 being excellent): Overall Quality	Baseline, 2, 6 and 12 weeks post-application
