A fractured patella (kneecap) is difficult to stabilize. Coming out of surgery people are often placed into casts so that reinjury doesn't occur while the knee is healing. Though a cast is an excellent way to immobilize the knee, it is often restrictive and uncomfortable.
Many knee braces have been designed to give that same immobilization without the discomfort of a full leg cast. Whether you've broken your kneecap and had some kind of surgery to help repair it, or you need to stabilize your knee for another reason, Shop-Orthopedics has many different options for you.
