Rigid knee braces have recently become a very popular piece of sporting equipment. These innovative knee braces have become quite popular with non-traditional athletes such as cheerleaders and special education students. Rigid braces are used for rehabilitation purposes to help heal torn ligaments and tendons. These specialized braces help prevent further injury from occurring.
The recent invention is a lightweight, customized orthopedic knee brace, consisting of an elasticated upper portion, and two rigid plastic strap elements that connect the upper portion of the brace to both the lower and inner sides of the wearer's knee at its top, bottom, or midpoint. This design has opened up new possibilities in helping patients recover from knee injuries and bone-related injuries. Many human body structures are made up of bones or cartilage. There are also some types of tissues that are made up of synovial fluid. The ligaments connect these two parts of the body and act as shock absorbers, allowing us to move and function normally.
Orthopedic surgeons are always looking for new ways to perform their operations and this is one way they are doing just that. They have developed a wide range of applications and new discoveries in the field of orthopedics and in the human body have helped improve the methods of treatment. Rigid knee braces are used for rehabilitation and they can be used in a number of ways to treat conditions such as meniscal tears, meniscus tears, ACL tears, patellar tendonitis (inflammation of the kneecap), and Osgood Schlatter's disease. Even worse, there are those rare instances where a ruptured kneecap can cause permanent damage to the bone. With this in mind, there are still many innovative applications in the field of orthopedics and rigid knee braces are only one of them. Recently, in June 2020, DJO Global launched a new DonJoy line of knee braces X-ROM Post-Op knee brace.
