KNEE BRACE MAY BE UNNECESSARY AFTER SURGERY, STUDY FINDS
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- It may be unnecessary for athletes to fasten themselves into cumbersome braces after a specific reconstructive knee surgery, new research suggests.
"ACL braces were designed to stabilize the knee, to make it feel more trustworthy," said Kaeding, who sees more than 200 ACL injuries each year. "The braces do seem to help some patients who haven’t had the surgery but have damaged their ACL.
Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which stretches across the knee joint, are especially common among athletes whose sports involve jumping, turning and abrupt starts and stops. Part of the rehabilitation process includes wearing a knee brace for up to a year.
"We didn’t notice any difference after surgery between patients who wore braces and patients not wearing braces," said Christopher Kaeding, associate professor of surgery at Ohio State University. "Our study implies a brace may be unnecessary after ACL reconstruction."
