Completion Date

Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well the KRONOS postoperative knee brace reduces pain and enhances recovery compared with the standard Breg T-scope hinged brace following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction knee surgery.
Detailed Description
The KRONOS postoperative unloader brace features a new bracing technology that combines the capability of hyperextension immobilization with additional benefits of offloading up to 60 lbs off the knee joint. The adjustable tensioning system in the KRONOS brace offers promising potential to significantly alleviate patient discomfort and pain, facilitate quicker return to a higher level of activity, and ultimately contribute to improved surgical outcomes.
