How to use Donjoy Trom Knee Brace?

1. Unfasten the buckle on each strap and lay brace out flat. Place leg inside brace and adjust the straps to position bar assembly so that each hinge aligns with the patella (kneecap) and the midline of the leg on both the medial and lateral sides of the leg.
2. Fasten the two straps closest to the knee.
3. Adjust thigh and calf bar length by pushing in the gray button and sliding the strap paddles to desired length. Ensure that both bars are equal in length and that each strap paddle is indexed to same position on each bar assembly.
4. Fasten the remaining two straps. Loosen the straps by pulling the straps away from the frame, and pull straps tight to remove slack behind the leg while maintaining the position of the hinge and bars on the leg. The straps can be trimmed for proper fit and strap-end can be repositioned to new edge of strap.
5. To adjust the position of the straps on the leg, push the gray button and slide the strap paddles to the desired location on the leg.
6. To adjust flexion and extension, slide the buttons found on the hinge casing to the desired flexion/ extension settings as determined by your prescribing healthcare professional. You may need to move the hinge bar to the desired extension setting on the outer rim of the hinge in order to be able to move the extension button.
7. To lock the hinge, move the hinge bar to the desired setting on the outer rim of hinge. Slide the hinge lock button, located on the thigh bar, into the locked position such that the arrow moves towards the hinge center.

• The hinge bars may be bent to add varus or valgus contouring. Bend each bar by holding thigh/calf bar firmly against a solid surface and apply gentle and constant pressure to the hinge in the direction desired. Bend each side bar an equal amount above and below the hinge.
• For optimal ease of application post-operatively, pre-fit the brace prior to surgery if possible.
