Short-term (for the rest period) fixation of the knee following injuries and surgery.
Application and adjusting
The ready to adjust Chrisofix® orthoses have to be adjusted directly on the injured/diseased body part. The rough adjustment (bending) has to be performed on a non-injured limb of similar size. Fine adjustments, readjustments (e.g. after soft tissue swelling is reduced) can be made without removing the orthosis.
The orthosis is delivered in ready to adjust form with the most frequently used angle.
If necessary, open the lateral fixation plates, set the required angle, and close them again.
Put the leg with the plantar side into the orthosis.
Adjust the orthosis carefully to the leg, knee and femoral part.
Fasten the orthosis with the bandages.
For the best weight distribution, bolster up the knee with a cushion in a slightly crooked position
