MOS-Genu | Functional orthosis for stabilizing the knee joint | 1 piece.

FUNCTIONAL ORTHOSIS KNEE JOINTS
FOR STABILIZATION

*Waiting time, at least 1 week.

Price: 978 EUR

Indications

• • Conservative

– Functional therapy of cruciate and collateral ligament injuries
– Severe and/or complex instability
– Unloading of the relevant part in case of varus or valgus gonarthrosis

• Postoperatively, MOS-Genu (short)

– After ligament surgery/ligament plastic surgery
– Meniscal suturing and meniscal implantation

• Postoperatively, MOS-Genu (long)

– After tibial osteotomy
– After complex ligament reconstruction
– In certain cases when the fracture site is close to the joint, in implant surgery, for protection

• • MOS-Genu, short/long (with cross strap)

- Knee hyperextension

Features

• The aluminum frame is anatomically designed and can be narrowed if necessary.
• The frame construction is available in an extended version that can be converted to standard length by removing the extension applicators.
• The applicator pad with a breathable and skin-friendly, non-slip coating is securely fastened in place.
• Monocentric joints are oriented according to the compromise rotation point according to Nietert, and can be adjusted in 10° increments for flexion and straightening.
• Pads of different thicknesses are used to smooth out knee joint swellings of different degrees.
• A shoulder strap (accessory) is used to stabilize back instability and Genu recurvatum.

Type of exposure

• The varus/valgus setting allows it to be adjusted to the individual foot axis and
• to purposefully relieve some of the knee parts and lateral ligaments.
• The knee orthosis is based on the commonly used 4-point principle and thus counteracts anterior displacement of the tibia.
• The frame design stabilizes the knee joint against varus or valgus force, in the extended version with a longer arm.
• The hip strap relieves the orthotic joints, preventing hyperextension.
• Dorsal pressure from the hip belt works against the posterior deviation of the tibia.
• The potential impact of the force caused by the orthosis on the knee joint is reduced to a minimum, as the frame with a monocentric joint can be adjusted.

Sizing:

When determining the size of the MOS-Genu knee orthosis, the leg should be bent at an angle of 30° and the flexion angle should be checked with a MOS goniometer.
ML knee joint width is measured at the height of the femoral condyle with the MOS-Genu orthometer (without pressure). The size of the orthosis is read in the result box. If the size is shown on the borderline, the state of swelling or atrophy should also be considered, as well as the path of the other
joint width.
