The knee joint is a joint complex that is susceptible to numerous injuries, with
repair requiring specific surgical techniques for each case. The different surgical
techniques or arthroscopy used in the repair of ligament, meniscus or patellofemoral
injuries, or post-surgical complications, such as nerve damage, infections or total
replacement of the knee joint with a prosthesis due to disease or injury, lead to
symptoms that require complementary treatments and rehabilitation, and the use
of control and stabilisation orthoses to ensure post-surgical success, and prevent
unwanted movements or mechanical situations that could jeopardise the surgical
work performed.
Symptoms
Inflammation or oedematisation of the joint is common in post-surgery and
requires bandaging or compression orthoses to reduce the inflammation. The
knee joint in post-surgery can suffer from anterior / oposterior instability.
Post Op Braces & Supports
Rehabilitation to restore the function of the knee in post-surgery requires, in
some cases, the help of orthotic devices to contribute to improving the various
functions indicated in each case and according to the injury treated. The indication
of splints or orthoses for complete immobilisation for varying periods of time can
be supplemented with orthoses featuring mechanical joints to control mobility
and adjust flexion-extension and mediolateral elements to provide the necessary
stability in varus-valgus, even preventing unwanted rotational movements.
Compression orthoses manufactured from elastic fabric and featuring stabilisation
systems prevent the occurrence of oedema, and are recommended as a method
of preventing future injuries in daily life and especially during sporting activities.
