My dear list members-
Hi! I am a physio practising in Mumbai, India. I would like to
know your opinion & experience about using braces or lateral wedges in
knee osteoarthritic patients (mainly medial compartment syndrome).
I have been using lateral wedging in the patient`s footwear. The
weight bearing x-ray of both the knees is taken to calculate amount of
varus i.e.if 10 degrees of varus then 10mm lateral wedge is given
sloping down to 0. Is this method right? please opine.
thanking you in advance,
with sincere regards,
DR.HARSHA BHANAGE.
