An orthopedic brace (10) is adaptable for either left or right sided use. The brace includes a softgood pad (20) having a distal edge (24), a proximal edge (22) opposite the distal edge (24), a dorsal edge (24), and a radial edge (28) opposite the dorsal edge. A strap retainer (40) is disposed on the radial edge (28), and a strap pod (44) is removably attachable to the pad (20) in a left or right sided closure position. The strap pod (44) cooperates with the strap retainer (40) to secure the pad closed about a left limb, when the strap pod (44) is attached in the left sided closure position, or about a right limb, when the strap pod (44) is attached in the right sided closure position. A distal retention strap (30) extends from the pad (20) proximate to the distal and radial edges (24, 28), and a reversible fastening member (32) is coupled to the distal retention strap (30). |
