The treatment gap, the period between exhausted conservative treatment and surgical intervention, is one of the most underacknowledged challenges in knee OA management. An estimated 20% of patients with symptomatic knee OA linger in this gap for 10 years. For younger patients, that can stretch to 20 years, often while they try to remain active.

Offloading knee bracing is a cost-effective, evidence-backed bridging strategy. In a study by Lee et al. (2017), patients who wore an offloading knee brace for 2 or more years did not require surgery at 8-year follow-up.

Sometimes the best surgical outcome is the one that doesn't happen! ⏱️

Save the date!

This October 22nd-24th, the Enovis Nordic team will be attending Gotland Grand National 2026 — the world’s largest enduro race.

With thousands of riders taking on one of the toughest events in motorsport, we’ll be there with our range of DonJoy knee braces, supporting those who push their limits on challenging terrain.

Visit us at the event to learn more about our bracing solutions and how they can help provide support, stability, and confidence for active knees.

PS You can also watch the event online through the GGN Live Worldwide digital livestream and SVT Play.

See you in Gotland!

Why does an offloading knee brace actually work? It comes down to the knee adduction moment, the rotational force that drives excessive loading onto the affected compartment with every step.

DonJoy OA braces reduce peak knee adduction moment by up to 32% during gait, reduce adduction impulse by up to 37%, and can increase medial compartment joint space by approximately 10% during the impact phase of walking(1,2,3,4).

Unlike NSAIDs, which address pain but not the underlying biomechanics, offloading bracing reduces compartment loading while allowing patients to stay active, protecting the joint rather than masking the problem. 📐

654 million people worldwide live with knee osteoarthritis, that's 22.9% of everyone over 40. And of the 344 million people whose OA severity could benefit from rehabilitation, many are still waiting for meaningful relief.

This June, we’re focusing on knee OA: exploring the clinical evidence behind compartmental offloading, identifying the patient profiles that benefit most, and highlighting the DonJoy OA brace range, from mild to severe.

Follow along for a month of evidence-based clinical insights. 🦵

Two of the most common drivers of chronic spinal pain, muscular insufficiency and spinal osteoarthritis, often present together in older patients. Rigid bracing addresses both: helping to provide external support where musculature falls short, while helping reduce mechanical load on degenerative spinal joints to deliver meaningful pain relief. 💪

Postural dysfunction is one of the most challenging aspects of Parkinson's disease management. Progressive trunk flexion, reduced stability, and elevated fall risk all impact quality of life.

Rigid spinal bracing offers a practical, non-pharmacological support option within the multidisciplinary care plan, helping patients maintain a more upright posture and move with greater confidence. 🧠
