No, It cannot : A Brace Knee is a tool in managing the discomfort of the knee. There are many risks when using a brace like skin irritation or swelling, stiffness, pain; many of the risks are related to a poor fit. I recommend you visit an Orthopedic Surgeon, whose will make a physical examination and consider if the Knee brace is useful for you and then will assist you in a well-positioned of the knee brace.
