2. Pre- and post-operative therapy for osteoarthritis
Preoperative care: When braces are used on a test basis (brace test for unicompartmental relief) before operation (e.g. before corrective osteotomy), both the surgeon and patient receive helpful information about the expected surgical result. This also allows for a better assessment of the postoperative pain reduction.

Postoperative care: After surgery dealing with cartilage, cartilage plastic surgery or meniscus refixation, the brace supports the surgical outcome: It unburdens and stabilises the knee.
