ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a bi-centric joint for use in an orthopedic support system which includes a plurality of interdigitating tubular elements, secured upon planar base means, in which hubs from which said tubular elements project are secured to proximal and distal sections of the orthopedic apparatus. The length of each interdigitating tubular radial spoke is such that, upon the passage of said spoke through a centerline defined by the centers of rotation of the hubs, a pivot action at the end of such spoke against a peripheral surface of said proximal or distal section will occur. The result is a simulation of natural movement of a human joint.
