What is Combined Ligament Injury?
The knee is made up of four ligaments that are all vitally important for movement and leg function. These ligaments undergo continuous strain during physical activity, which is why knee injuries are one of the most common for athletes to suffer. Combined ligament instability occurs when more than one of these ligaments stretches or tears entirely, resulting in a swelling, extreme pain and an inability to put pressure on the knee. The four knee ligaments that are susceptible to instability are:
- Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL): Located in the centre of the knee, the ACL controls rotation and forward movement of the tibia.
- Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL): Located at the back of the knee, the PCL controls backward movement of the tibia.
- Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL): Located on the inside of the knee, the MCL provides internal stability.
- Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL): Located on the outside of the knee, the LCL provides external stability.
How Does the Donjoy Renegade Support Combined Ligament Instability?
Thanks to Donjoy's patented Four-Points-of-Leverage system, the Donjoy Renegade provides exceptional support for CL injuries. Featuring bilateral polycentric hinges, the brace stabilises the knee and targets the most effective areas for compression. The brace can be configured to support different sections of the knee depending on which ligaments need most support.
What is the Four Points of Leverage System?
The revolutionary Donjoy Four-Points-of-Leverage System provides clinically proven ligament stability to promote fast healing. This system anchors the knee at strategic areas of the leg to shift pressure to the tibia from the knee. This helps alleviate pain and promote a more natural walking pattern. The Four-Points-of-Leverage are:
- Anterior thigh anchor
- Posterior tibia anchor
- Lower thigh strap to push the femur anteriorly
- Anterior tibia strap to apply an active constant load to prevent tibial translation
