Description
Realigning braces for patients with knee osteoarthritis induce a valgus or varus torque on the knee, with the aim of reducing contact stress in the involved medial or lateral knee joint compartment, respectively. Four main brace designs for right knee medial compartment osteoarthritis are depicted, from the most to the least bulky (left to right). The availability of a variety of brace types enables appropriate fit with an individual patient’s needs, thereby enhancing compliance.
