Pediatric knee injuries

The number of parents encouraging children to physical activity. It is for our health and prevents against the obesity, diabetes and other serious conditions. Unfortunately, sometimes the physical activity may lead into knee injury.

Top 5 knee injuries in kids and teens are sprains, strains, cartilage tears, fractures and tendonitis. Fractures are less common but daily physical activity and overused of the knee joint may result in tendonitis. The treatment of the knee injury bases on immobilization, joint rest and physical therapy. Kid’s knee immobilization is not a simple task. Kids sometimes are not aware of their health condition. Due to this fact, the pediatric knee brace should be as safe and effective as possible. To do that, we highly recommend our universal knee brace FIX-KD-14.

Product’s description

Po-op knee brace FIX-KD-14 provides perfect knee immobilization. It consists of two anatomic shaped splints 1R orthodesign made of weight-light aluminum.

These splints has the body’s shape and provides excellent knee stabilization. They are equipped with small drop lock with range of motion adjustment in every 15 degrees. The drop lock is extremely small, perfect for kid’s sizes. It is also safe, because has special plastic cover which reduces the risk of involuntary changes of adjusted ROM. It’s highly recommended in case of children as they can be not totally aware of their conditions.

The 1R Orthodesign orthopedic brace is a novel approach to the topic of adjustable-angle orthopedic braces. The innovativeness of the brace lies in the fact that we have applied an angle adjustment of 15 degrees in a clock with a diameter not exceeding 30 mm. An additional advantage of the brace is that the adjustment is not done using Allen screws, as it was in the previous generation of the brace, but using inserted steel rivets, which are easily removed from the angle sockets using a magnet included with the brace. The icing on the cake is the locking ring, which, thanks to the ratchet system, will prevent the previously set angle from being automatically readjusted. In knee braces, the braces have a shin offset, which allows for more precise fitting of the knee brace, and therefore more accurately realizes the regulation of joint mobility. In other products, the braces have a straight shape. An oval element is mounted on the underside of the clock to which a gripper is glued, which is essential for attaching soft 3D side cushions to the clock. These braces, using an orthopedic key offered by Reh4Mat, can be individually adjusted to the shape of the patient's limb in some cases by slightly bending them.
