Knee osteoarthritis can affect your quality of life and prevent you from doing things you love. You might assume that means a knee replacement, but there are many options for treatment that don’t necessarily involve surgery.
Wearing a brace can help redistribute forces within the knee joint, that can help unload the part of the knee that's arthritic, decrease swelling, provide some additional support and stability for the knee and make people feel fewer symptoms.
Unloader knee braces for osteoarthritis use a three-point leverage system to transfer pressure from the painful area of the knee to a healthier section, relieving pain and improving function. These braces are typically rigid, hinged devices that can be custom or semi-custom fitted to provide support for conditions like medial (inner) or lateral (outer) osteoarthritis. The braces help increase mobility, and some may help reduce the need for surgery, though a proper fit and professional guidance are crucial for them to work effectively.
Wearing a brace after injury and before surgery will help to stabilize the knee joint and reduce the risk of re-injury while you wait, which is important to minimize the possibility of complications. It can help maintain modified physical activity and muscle strengthening.
