The patented 4-Point Support System is designed to prevent abnormal anterior stretching. The 4 support points are integrated to work together to counteract these movements. The straps collectively apply force directly to the tibia, counteracting anterior drawer movement.
A Fully Integrated System
The center of the polycentric hinges is posterior to the midline of the knee and slightly above the joint space.
This allows points 1 and 3 to compress the thigh muscles, isolate the femur, and pull it forward. Points
2 and 4 pull the tibia backward, generating a differential force at constant load directly on the tibia, thereby controlling the
.
Patients with an ACL deficiency exhibit anterolateral instability, which causes the knee to give way. Counteracting this rotation and directly controlling the instability of an ACL-deficient knee using a brace is extremely difficult. That is why DJO™ ligament braces aim to stabilize the knee
indirectly, using the 4-Point Support Biomechanical System. The 4-Point Support System is clinically proven to be the most effective system for preventing anterior translation of the tibia. By effectively reducing and preventing* anterior translation, a 4-Point Support brace indirectly helps prevent or reduce anterolateral instability (endorotation) in a knee with an ACL defect. It thus helps the patient regain some joint stability.
