2.1.1. Adjusting the brace to the leg shape by using an
orthopaedic "bending iron"
The brace is anatomically contoured. However, if a different shape is required,
the hinge rods can be adjusted to the shape of the patient's leg with the aid of
an orthopaedic bending iron. Loosen the screws on the shell components and
either move or remove them. Then adjust the hinge rods to the shape of the
extremity.
bending iron
When adjusting the hinge rods to the shape of the extermity by using
an orthopaedic bending iron, you must not bend the rods in the area
of the hinge housing or the hinge cover as this could lead to damage or
break of the hinge.
The Jack PCL Brace can only be adjusted at the thigh rods, due to constructive
reasons.
