    It is to keep the ball socket of the femur in the hip socket. It is usually used in the treatment of Legg- Calvé-Perthes disease.

    If traveling by aircraft, talk to the airlines. In some cases they are quite helpful and will work with you as much as possible. It is possible to have two airline seats although it might be more expensive.

    Im not quite sure of the leg spread though. Sorry.
