A member asked:
Do unloader knee braces work, and would wearing it all day everyday slow down the wear and arthritis in my knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Might delay: you are young for arthritis. was that diagnosed by an Orthopaedic Surgeon? unloader braces might minimally slow down arthritic wear if worn constantly. arthritis is a progressively worsening situation.
