Description: The Jewett orthosis uses a 3-point pressure system to control flexion with 1 posterior and 2 anterior pads. The anterior pads place pressure over the sternum and pubic symphysis. The posterior pad places opposing pressure in the mid thoracic region.
Function: Limits flexion and extension between T6-L1
Indication: • Symptomatic relief of compression fractures T6-L1 • Immobilization after surgical stabilization of thoracolumbar fractures
Contraindication: • Three-column spinal fractures involving anterior, middle, and posterior spinal structures • Compression fractures above T6, because segmental motion increases above the sternal pad • Ineffective in limiting lateral bending and rotation of the upper lumbar spine.
