The invention relates to a brace used for anterior cruciate insufficiency. The brace is comprised of a femoral engaging component means for securing the femoral engaging component to a limb, a proximal lateral femoral bar fixed to the femoral engaging component and extending downwardly to a proximal femoral lateral position, a proximal medial femoral bar fixed to the femoral engaging component and adapted to extend over the anterior of the thigh to a proximal medial femoral position, a tibial engaging component means for securing the tibial engaging component to a limb, a proximal lateral tibial bar fixed to the tibial engaging component and extending upwardly therefrom to a proximal lateral tibial position, a proximal medial tibial bar fixed to the tibial engaging component and extending upwardly therefrom to a proximal medial tibial position, a medial joint connecting the proximal ends of the proximal medial femoral bar and the proximal medial tibial bar, a lateral joint connecting the proximal ends of the proximal lateral femoral bar and the proximal medial tibial bar, said joints adapted to rotate only through the same horizontal axis as the limb when the brace is applied.
