ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic knee brace which is able to be adjustably sized in both length and circumference. The brace comprises a sheet of flexible material which is adapted to encircle the knee and adjacent leg portions of the wearer, and three rigidifying members are mounted on the sheet and extend between the upper and lower end edges thereof. The rigidifying members are each adapted to be readily shortened by the physician or the user, such that the sheet may be severed along the upper and/or lower end edges of the sheet, as well as along the side edges thereof, to selectively reduce both the length and circumference of the brace and thereby permit the brace to be properly fitted to patients of varying size.
