How to apply Renegade Knee Brace by Donjoy?

• A: While sitting on the edge of a chair, step through the brace. Flexing the knee to 45° , position the brace, centering the hinge about 1" (2.54 cm) above the top of the kneecap and slightly past midline of the leg. Make sure the brace is not twisted on the leg.
• B: Secure the bottom calf strap first, then the top thigh strap.
• C: Keeping the knee bent at 45 degrees, push both condyles (hinges) toward the back of the leg.
• D: Maintaining the position of the hinges: for ACL version secure lower thigh strap, for PCL version secure upper calf strap, for CI version secure lower thigh strap then upper calf strap on the back of the leg.
• E: For ACL version, draw the hinges forward slightly before fastening the front tibial (shin) strap. For PCL version draw the hinges forward slightly before fastening the front thigh strap. For CI version draw the hinges forward slightly before fastening the front tibial (shin) and the front thigh strap. Do not pull the hinges beyond midline of the leg.
• F: For ACL version next, secure the upper calf strap. Be careful not to pull this strap too tight and risk circulation problems.
• G: When all strapping is complete, the hinge should center just above the top of the kneecap and slightly behind midline. To ensure that no slippage occurs during activity, it is recommended to do a few knee bends or walk for a few minutes, then re-tighten the straps following steps B-F or B-E for CI version.
