Össur recently announced the launch of Rebound Cartilage, a brace designed to provide unicompartmental load reduction and range of movement restriction after articular cartilage defect procedures.
According to a company press release, the brace’s three-point leverage system and cartilage protection straps provide protection by unloading the affected knee compartment in flexion. It was designed to offload the repaired cartilage while helping the patient transition through the rehabilitation process of partial- to full-weight bearing. It also provides postoperative unicompartmental offloading for the optimization of the surgical prevention of osteoarthritis and could be used for other unicompartmental knee conditions that require offloading, movement restriction and pain relief, such as meniscal repair, avascular necrosis, and condylar bone marrow lesions.
