A hinge for knee joint bandages comprising two elongated flat links (3,4) connected for mutual pivoting. At the end portion of one link (4) there are four holes (19-22) distributed along a circular arc symmetrically in relation to the longitudinal axis. A stop pin (16) is inserted in one of the holes to limit the end position of the pivoting movement of the links. The stop pin cooperates with a circular arcuate slot of the other link (3). The slot is greater than 180 DEG and is symmetrically located in relation to the longitudinal axis of the link (3), whereby the hinge can be used either on the inside or the outside of the knee for the adjustment of the desired maximum angular pivoting of the knee. |
