Should I Wear A Knee Brace After Meniscus Surgery?

Should I wear a knee brace after meniscus surgery?

Wearing a knee brace for meniscus injury has a certain effect. Wearing a knee brace can maintain the stability of the knee joint, prevent further aggravation of discomfort, and at the same time keep warm.

Knee braces are useful for meniscus injuries in three main ways:
1. Keep warm. If you catch cold, it will stimulate the meniscus damage to further aggravate. Wearing knee braces can provide warmth for the knee joint and protect the knee joint.
2. Keep the knee joint stable. Wearing a knee brace is equivalent to wearing a protective gear to protect and brake the knee joint. When your knee has been injured and is recovering, wearing a knee brace or patella strap can reduce the wear and tear on the knee joint during sports or labor. At this time, the strength of the muscle groups around the knee becomes weaker, and the knee joint is unstable. Wearing knee braces can keep the knee joint in a relatively stable state, support the knee, and protect the knee.
3. It can promote blood circulation, and the knee joint will not catch cold after wearing knee braces.

Wearing knee braces is beneficial and necessary for meniscus injuries. In the acute stage of a meniscal tear, plaster or protective gear should be applied to fix it first, and then rehabilitation training should be carried out, such as knee joint flexion and extension function training, and gradual recovery. Let me introduce several knee braces produced and sold by Xiamen Ortosport. You can choose to buy the product that suits you according to your own situation after consulting your doctor.

KN307 Range Of Motion Knee Support

It can completely cover the knee joint, and the angle-adjustable support bars on both sides can provide firm support for the knee joint and limit the range of motion of the knee joint. This can effectively relieve the pressure on the ligament and prevent secondary ligament damage. Play a certain role in fixing and supporting the entire knee joint. At the same time, it can effectively share the meniscus load and protect the meniscus. Its material is very soft, and the knees have an open design without a strong sense of oppression. The design of the upper and lower straps is convenient for patients to adjust and wear, and it is not tight but tight when used. At the same time, it can solve the problem of mild knee swelling, keep the knee joint warm for arthritis patients, and is suitable for mild knee joint patients, meniscus injury, or people with ligament injury.

KN309 Stabilized Knee Support

The donut-shaped patella pad can reduce the pressure of the knee brace on the hip bone to a certain extent, and at the same time provide fixation and support for the patella, avoiding the frictional pain caused by abnormal movement. It is suitable for people with abnormal movement of the patella, pain directly in front of the knee or inside the patella, difficulty in going up and down stairs and squatting, and people who often run. It can be worn in daily life without compressing the patella and restricting the flexion of the knee joint.

It should be noted that knee braces are only auxiliary tools. If the knee has been damaged, try to rest as much as possible, do corresponding rehabilitation training, and minimize the movement pressure on the knee joint.
