Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury

Le ligament croisé antérieur (LCA) est l'un des deux ligaments croisés, éléments clés de la stabilisation du genou. Il relie le fémur et le tibia, assurant la stabilisation antérieure du tibia par rapport à l'axe articulaire et l'empêchant de s'étendre trop vers l'avant. Le ligament ACL peut être endommagé de différentes manières. Le mécanisme le plus courant est un mouvement de rotation brusque pendant une activité sportive, comme on le voit souvent au football, au basket-ball ou au ski. Le ligament peut également se déchirer à la suite d'un accident du travail ou d'un accident de voiture.

At the time of injury, a characteristic ‘pop’ can sometimes be felt or heard. There is then pain and a reduction in range of movement, and the person is unable to continue physical activity. Immediate swelling of the knee occurs at the time of injury – within the first few hours – but its extent can be reduced by prompt knee cold therapy or immobilization.

There are different types of ACL ligament injury, but regardless of the grade of the injury, it is always necessary to support and stabilise the joint with a functional knee brace like MIDNIGHT.

The MIDNIGHT knee brace is lightweight yet durable and provides professional support. The functional knee brace will provide adequate stabilisation both in the event of a joint injury and in chronic inflammation and arthrosis.

Our MIDNIGHT functional knee brace has been designed with the user’s comfort in mind. It is made from ultralight, anatomically shaped aluminium, providing maximum support and stabilisation with minimal product weight.

The thermoformed padding, the length of which can be adjusted individually, reduces pressure on the bony prominences and ensures comfort. It is equipped with skin-friendly silicone to prevent the product from slipping during use.

The brace has an anterior-anterior design, which makes it ideal for protecting the shin from forward translation, which occurs in cases of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. The aluminium frame design allows the brace to be used even in cases of advanced ligament damage. In addition, the MIDNIGHT knee brace keeps the joint in alignment, so it will prove useful for people with known knee valgus or knee varus, in order to prevent further progression of the deformity.

Once set, the circumferential range of the Velcro straps remains in place, even during prolonged use of the brace, and the quick pin fastening system ensures simple and intuitive application of the product.

This durable and lightweight knee brace is designed to provide the user with relief and safety. Functional knee brace MIDNIGHT is equipped with the 2RA Precision Pro hinges that provides an anatomical knee range of motion. The innovative ROLL-BACK technology provides an smooth anatomical knee motion. This solution allows the knee to be supported during flexion and extension, but also maintains constant contact between the articular surfaces of the thigh and shin, which allows the natural rotational movements of the joint to be maintained and supports the knee in any physiological range. Keeping the joint surfaces in constant physiological contact increases the proprioceptive effect of the knee, extremely important in the case of ligament damage.

The MIDNIGHT functional knee brace, with control of physiological joint mobility and ROLL-BACK technology, helps to provide optimal knee support for ACL cruciate ligament injuries. It also provides deep relief from osteoarthritis and patellar arthritis, knee pain, swelling, stiffness, injury, degeneration or other knee joint problems.

Purpose of use:

• Mild or severe ACL, MCL and LCL instability
• Rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction
• Mixed ligaments injuries
• Knee hyperextension
