I'm looking for some info on unloader knee orthoses. My patient is a 53
year old man who enjoys a vigorous tennis game. He has used an ACL knee
orthosis for many years but has had increasing medial compartment
degeneration. He wishes to remain active needing both ACL protection
and medial joint unloading. He does not want to have an osteotomy. He
is 6'4 tall and weighs approx 215. What is your experience with active
wearers using unloader knee orthoses? Thanks for any input here.
