<snip>I don't use any of them. If they don't work, why waste the
patients
money. If they work, then the manufactures should be willing to study
them. I have asked all of them if they plan good comparative studies.

Dr McSwain, what do you want them to compare to? Compared to each other
— they do the same thing, pick the one that's cheapest/easiest to use.
Compared to a bed sheet --They do the same thing — but they are SO
much easier (and less likely to loosen up) that many people think it's
worth it. As to comparing them to emergent ex. fix. I don't think
funding is the difficult part of that study, it's getting the orthopods
to come in (and the problems with emergent consent).

Is it that you don't believe that the concept (closing the pelvic
volume) is sound  at all or do you go right to ex. fix?
