A hip stabilization device is adaptable to all patients, and has a hinged brace held in alignment with the hip joint by a belt adjustably engaged about the patient's waist, with the belt engaging the top of the brace. A support is adjustably engaged about the patient's thigh, and is secured to the bottom of the brace. The mounting of the upper and lower parts of the brace to the belt and support respectively are adjustable to accommodate the height and proportions of the patient. The brace prevents rotation of the hip joint and lateral motion of the leg. The range of motion of the hinge is adjustable to permit the maximum flexion consistent with the patient's injury and proper stabilization of the joint. The attachment on the belt to mount the brace is such that when the belt is turned over, it can engage a brace on the other side of a patient. The support and brace are universal to fit the patient's other leg and hip, so that the same parts can be used to support either hip joint.
