Product Highlights:

  • SMALL RIGHT KNEE MEDIAL UNLOADER: Measure your thigh 6" above your patella and your calf 6" below it. Small fits thigh circumference 15–18 inches, calf circumference 12–14 inches. This Medial Unloader for the Right Leg offloads the inner knee for medial arthritis relief.
  • TARGETED KNEE RELIEF: Designed to offload the painful compartment by placing the hinge on the opposite side - outside for medial (inner) knee pain, inside for lateral (outer) knee pain - to reduce pressure and relieve discomfort.
  • TOOL-FREE THUMBWHEEL DIAL FOR CUSTOM SUPPORT: The OA Freestyle Knee Brace allows instant unloading adjustments using its integrated thumbwheel dial—no tools required. Fine-tune valgus or varus pressure to target your unique arthritis pain. Combined with soft compression panels, it improves stability, reduces swelling, and enhances comfort through every movement.
  • LOW-PROFILE WRAPAROUND DESIGN FOR DAILY WEAR: Built from breathable, lightweight materials, this single-upright frame fits comfortably under clothing. Its wraparound closure makes application simple and secure, maintaining airflow and preventing moisture build-up for all-day relief. Ideal for staying active while managing unicompartmental osteoarthritis pain.

Breg Freestyle Knee Brace - Medial or Lateral Unloader for Osteoarthritis & Arthritis Pain Relief

Experience targeted relief from unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis with the OA Freestyle Knee Brace by Breg. PDAC approved L1843, L1851 and FSA/HSA eligible, this single-upright unloader shifts load off the painful compartment (choose Medial for inner-knee relief or Lateral for outer-knee relief). A true wraparound frame and integrated finger pockets make application fast and intuitive—no need to step into the brace. The low-profile hinge with tool-free thumbwheel lets you fine-tune valgus or varus off-loading as symptoms change. Soft, breathable liners and contoured straps conform to the leg to enhance comfort, help manage swelling, and maintain secure suspension through daily activity. Ideal for mild to moderate OA, meniscus repairs, and unicompartmental cartilage lesions, the Freestyle supports steadier steps and confident movement without bulky hardware.

  • If you fall between two sizes, choose the larger size for easier adjustment

How to Wear / Fit

  1. Before application, set the hinge to 0
  2. Sit with your knee bent to about 30 degrees
  3. Open the wrap and position the brace so the single upright runs along the side you are offloading—outside for medial or inside for lateral
  4. Center the front opening over your kneecap
  5. Secure the lower calf strap first, then the upper thigh strap, followed by the remaining straps until snug but not overly tight
  6. Pass the rear straps through the plastic rings, tension evenly, and fasten them onto themselves to prevent rotation
  7. Once the brace is properly applied, turn the thumbwheel hinge dial clockwise to increase pressure or counterclockwise to reduce it as directed by your clinician
  8. Walk a few steps, check for comfort and alignment, and re-snug straps if padding has settled.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a meniscus tear take to heal? + –

Recovery time varies widely. Minor tears may improve in 4–6 weeks with rest, physical therapy, and bracing, whereas more serious or degenerative tears could take months or require surgery. Proper support and guided exercises typically speed healing by reducing strain on damaged cartilage.

Can a meniscus tear heal without surgery? + –

Many partial tears respond well to conservative treatments, such as rest, bracing, and targeted rehabilitation. However, more extensive tears or those causing persistent symptoms might need surgical intervention. Consulting a sports medicine specialist is key for determining whether non-surgical care is an option.

Is it safe to walk on a torn meniscus? + –

Light walking can be possible if pain allows, but excessive weight-bearing or twisting motions risk worsening the injury. A supportive knee brace often helps maintain stability and comfort while you move. When in doubt, get advice from a healthcare provider before engaging in prolonged activity.

Which knee brace is best for larger builds with a meniscus tear? + –

Look for a plus-size hinged brace that offers adjustable range-of-motion settings and firm lateral support. A product like the Brace Direct Plus Size ROM Knee Brace accommodates bigger thighs and calves while ensuring compression and stability for safer movement.

Do I need crutches if I have a meniscus tear? + –

It depends on the severity of your tear, pain level, and how stable your knee feels. Some individuals benefit from crutches to reduce pressure on the joint, while others manage fine with a supportive knee brace and a slow, careful walking pace. Your physician or physical therapist can recommend the best approach.
