A knee brace (11) for alleviating problems with tibia rotation, subluxation and migration with respect to a femur of a wearer, including conventional first and second pairs of elongate braces (13, 15) having their respective hinges (17) connected at their central ends (21, 23), a plurality of flexible, inelastic, non-metallic bands connected at the plurality of points of fixation anteriorly and posteriorly of the respective braces for tightening to fit any leg and lie close to the leg. The respective plurality of straps (31) connected to their respective D-rings (27) anteriorly and posteriorly of the braces include a de-rotation pad for being held tightly adjacent the tibia at the inside anterior of the tibia to prevent rotation of the tibia. A cover is provided for the hinge and braces to allow the knee brace to be used in sports; and the hinge has diverging slots for facilitating access to the limiters of the degrees of flexion and extension. By this structure, one size can fit all, either right or left legs and the universal adjustability of all facets and elements make for a flexibility and freedom no heretofore available. |
