A case study: lennox hill bracing for postoperative total knee replacement.
Traditionally, the use of the Lennox Hill derotation brace has primarily been for the management of sports related injuries. From the professional to the weekend athlete, or the patient who must return to a demanding occupation, the Lennox Hill brace has been utilized preoperatively and/or postoperatively to manage various knee disorders. In this case report, the Lennox Hill derotation brace was employed to manage post-total knee replacement pain and instability in a geriatric patient. Of particular interest in this case, also, is an increase in quadriceps strength with the Lennox Hill brace being worn versus quadriceps strength with traditional hinge bracing and without brace being worn.J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 1984;5(5):265-268.
