• The distal (bottom) and proximal (top) scale settings on the cam pairs should be the same. Adding the distal (bottom) and
proximal (top) readings together will give the individual setting.
• In appropriate applications, targeted relief of the ligaments on the inner or outer aspects of the knee can be achieved by
correcting the bowleg/knock-knee setting.

6. Dismantling the long version
• Depending on the application and the progress made by the patient in the rehabilitation phase, it is possible to simply dismantle
the brace and turn it into the short version.
• Release and remove the screws on the distal (lower) and proximal (upper) support shells.
• Pull the distal (lower) and proximal (upper) extension shells out of the support shells.
• Compensate for the resulting hollows on the inner aspects of the shells with the padded strips provided.
• Place the orthosis in position and check that the t is correct.
7. Anterior or posterior instability (drawer sign)
• A 4-point system is implemented with the aid of the two popliteal fossa pads (Fig. 3), e.g. for an anterior instability (drawer
sign).
• For a posterior instability (drawer sign) or back-knee (genu recurvatum), there is a long popliteal cross-strap available to replace
the short popliteal straps.
• Twist the cross-strap through 180° and thread through the pad loops. Pull through the xing loops on the distal (lower) joint
ring and cross over in a proximal (upper) direction and secure (Fig. 4).
• The popliteal cross-strap can also be used after surgery to make the brace more comfortable to wear.
