The effect of bracing on the collateral ligaments of the knee.

B E Baker1.   

Abstract

Disruption of the ligamentous structures of the knee is commonly seen in competitive sports. The role of prophylactic and functional bracing is controversial. Currently, prophylactic bracing has not been shown, conclusively, to be protective. Functional braces appear to have a capacity to provide some protective effect.
