After ACL surgery, the brace acts like a built-in
safety guard 🦿
It keeps the knee stable and properly aligned while the new ligament is healing, protects against movements that could stress the graft, and helps patients move with confidence instead of fear.
One of the most common complications after ACL surgery is limited knee extension. The brace helps promote proper knee extension, encouraging the joint to heal in an optimal position.
By providing support while the muscles are still weak or relearning how to activate, the brace allows for safe, effective strengthening — setting the foundation for a stronger, more stable knee long term.
FAQ: When can I get rid of the brace? 🧐
You can safely discontinue the brace once you demonstrate proper movement form, good coordination, and sufficient muscle control to protect the knee without external support.
