Relief and stabilization for osteoarthritis of the knee with leg axis misalignment After surgery to correct misalignments (bowleg or knock knee), the removal of a meniscus or following cruciate or collateral ligament injuries, the MOS-Genu can be used to stabilize the leg or to provide targeted partial relief for it. The orthosis comprises an aluminum frame with optimally adjustable joints, straps and special skin-friendly cushions which compensate for swelling in the knee joint region. The frame design is available as either a standard length or a long version. stabilizes and relieves pressure on the knee joint adjustable axes and joints anatomically contoured frame MEASUREMENT AND PRODUCT RANGE Indications Conservative: Functional therapy of injuries to the cruciate ligaments and the lateral ligaments, Complex instabilities including genu recurvatum, Support for the affected compartment in varus/valgus arthritis Post-operative (short MOS-Genu): After operations on the ligaments, i.e. artificial ligaments, Meniscal suturing and meniscal implantation Post-operative (long MOS-Genu): After tibial osteotomy, After complex reconstructions of the ligaments, In individual cases it is also indicated for fractures located close to joints - implant surgery Materials Aluminum (Al) Polyamide (PA) Polyurethane (PUR) Stainless steel (Fe) Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) Cotton (CO) Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) die-cast zinc, chromed Elastodiene (ED) Polyethylene, high density (PE-HD) Polypropylene (PP) Polyester (PES) Silicone (SI) Elastane (EL) Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) hot-melt adhesive (artificial rubber) polyether acrylate STABILITY AND RELIEF If the knee is affected by severe instability, it requires special support. The special frame design of the MOS-Genu provides external support for the knee, holding it in the correct axis. Possible constraining forces on the knee joint are reduced to a minimum. Its joints, with physiologically optimal pivots, can be adjusted in 10-degree intervals. Pressure on the collateral ligaments or on parts of the knee can be relieved individually. STRONG YET LIGHTWEIGHT The MOS-Genu orthosis ensures maximum stability with minimum load impact. The frame is made of lightweight aluminum and the shells have skin-friendly, breathable cushions and do not slip. Condylar cushions of varying thicknesses compensate for any swelling. The orthosis can therefore be worn with comfort, even over extended periods of time.
