A post-operative knee brace is prescribed by the physician following a major surgery. These knee surgery braces, like a knee brace after meniscus surgery, allow initial and essential knee immobilization, followed by conversion to full range of motion. A post-op hinged knee brace, in particular, may be prescribed as it features adjustable hinges to help control the knee's degrees of flexion and extension. These hinges help provide gradual, controlled range of motion as a patient's knee heals.
