ORTHOPEDIST Knee Support Hinged (Neoprene), for Joint Stability & Pain Relief | for Sports Knee Support  (Black)

A hinged knee support is a specialized orthopedic brace designed to provide advanced stability and protection for the knee joint. It features metal or reinforced plastic hinges on both sides of the knee, which allow controlled flexion and extension while limiting harmful side-to-side or twisting motions. This type of support is commonly used for moderate to severe knee injuries, including ligament sprains or tears (ACL, MCL, LCL), meniscus injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, or chronic knee instability. The hinge mechanism helps guide natural joint movement while preventing excessive motion that could worsen an injury. Typically constructed from durable, breathable materials with adjustable Velcro straps, a hinged knee support offers a secure and customizable fit. Some designs also include open-patella features for kneecap support and added comfort.
