What is Osteoarthritis?
- Osteoarthritis occurs when the joint surface wears and tears, deteriorating the cartilage within the joint that allows the bones to move freely against each other. In OA of the knee, the result can be the painful rubbing together of the femur (thigh bone) against the tibia (shin bone).
How Donjoy Brace can help in Osteoarthritis?
- An osteoarthritic knee is corrected by an OA knee brace.
- DonJoy OA braces alleviate pain through the application of corrective load against the knee joint.
- Simply put, the braces apply an opposing force against the knee, causing the joint to realign, thereby decreasing or eliminating the contact between the two bone surfaces. The result is decreased pain and increased mobility.
