Evaluation of a New Patellar Tendon Bearing Brace With Offloading Monitoring and Adjustability: A Pilot Study
The findings suggest that maintaining a distance of 1.5 cm or more between the calf shells and foot plate is effective in reducing weight and offloading on the tibia. These results have important implications for clinicians using PTB braces to treat tibia fractures, highlighting the importance of adjusting the displacement of the PTB brace to optimize patient outcomes.
