How the Lateral-J Patella Stabilizer Works A defining feature of this knee brace is its repositionable silicone Lateral-J patellar buttress. The buttress attaches using a hook-and-loop compatible system so its position can be customized for the wearer's anatomy and desired direction of patellar support. This adjustable design is particularly useful when a patellar tracking brace or J brace is needed rather than a general-purpose compression knee sleeve. The patellar support is combined with dual-axis hinges to provide additional knee stabilization. Dual-Axis Hinged Knee Support The brace incorporates hidden dual-axis hinges that provide stabilization while maintaining a low-profile design. The hinges are bendable and shapeable to facilitate fitting and adjustment and include condyle pads for additional comfort and support. The hinges can also be removed for maintenance and cleaning.
