What kind of brace do they use for a post op lateral release knee surgery?

After a lateral release knee surgery, a hinged knee brace is typically used. This type of brace allows for motion control while still providing support and protection to the knee joint. The brace often has adjustable hinges that can be customized to the individual patient's needs and range of motion. In some cases, a physician may opt for a custom-made brace to ensure the best fit and support. The hinged knee brace helps to ensure that the knee moves properly during its post-operative healing process.
