Common examples of use:

Unicompartmental osteoarthritis (specify lateral or medial)

Meniscal instabilities

Product Features:

The dial allows the force to be adjusted in increments

The hinge sits on the affected side of the knee, pulling rather than pushing to help relieve symptoms of osteoarthritis.

Up to 22° of correction can be applied

For patients with moderate to severe osteoarthritis who require the orthosis all day.

My knee hurts!

Osteoarthritis pain results from loss of cartilage that covers the ends of the tibia and femur.

As the disease progresses, the knee joint space may become narrow enough that the two bones touch, causing pain during normal activities such as walking, going down stairs, or playing golf.

Do I have osteoarthritis?

To get a correct diagnosis, it is important to see an orthopedic doctor who will take into account your symptoms and medical history, examine your joints, and order diagnostic tests.

These tests may include blood tests, X-rays, a CT scan or an MRI to better understand the anatomy of your joint and how it works.
