Thank you for the reply! I actually didn't spend much time with the pt as I was assisting another nurse, it's just something I thought of later on. Like you stated, I thought Jewetts were only for stable fractures, but his incontinence obviously suggests a more serious neurological injury. Would that not require a different brace?

Hello everyone, Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I had a question. I helped assist a male patient in his late 20's with a SCI of his T12 (if I remember correctly). He was using forearm crutches to assist ambulation, briefs to contain urinary incontinence, and a Jewett brace for support. I was under the assumption a Jewett was for injury's with no neurological symptoms? Am I wrong to think this? Thank you for any help!
