functional knee orthosis for osteoarthrosis
Indications
- conservative treatment of pronounced unilateral, medial or lateral osteoarthrosis and arthritis of the knee
- permanent care where surgery is contra-indicated
- interim care until decision has been taken on possible surgical procedures such as correction osteotomy or knee joint replacement
- for relieving weight-bearing after surgery for medial or lateral fractures of the tibial head
Mode of action
- correction of the lateral or medial joint space by the 3-point principle
- pain relief by reducing weight-bearing on the affected side of the joint
- decreases further capsule irritation/synovitis
Features
- individually adjustable varus and valgus angles with a low profile joint; during the course of treatment the varus/valgus angles can be readjusted according to the healing process
- pneumatic condyle pads for additional pressure distribution complement on the joint (using the hand-pump supplied)
- very light construction and easy to put on
- limitation of extension 0º, 10º
- frame is made of new Avional® aluminium
