| FLA Orthopedics Osteoarthritis (OA)/Arthritis Knee Brace FLA Orthopedics Osteoarthritis (OA)/Arthritis Knee Brace provides excellent support and targeted pain relief. The unilateral hinge and strapping system work together to apply a corrective force to the joint - creating space in the joint where cartilage has deteriorated. Stress and load on the affected side of the joint is transferred to the unaffected compartment, allowing the joint to realign. The "off-loading" reduces bone on bone contact and the associated pain. Ordering Instructions: The FLA OA/Arthritis Knee Brace is a single hinge. You should select your brace to make sure that the hinge is located on the same side as the affected compartment of your knee. Here are some examples: - Pain on the inside of the left knee: Medial Left/Lateral Right.
- Pain on the outside of left knee: Medial Right/Lateral Left
- Pain on the inside of right knee: Medial Right/Lateral Left.
- Pain on the outside of right knee: Medial Left/Lateral Right.
