Sizing Guide

  • Measure thigh circumference 6 in. above mid-patella. Small fits 12-25 in. Universal fits 16-32 in. XL fits 16-38 in. The ranges overlap, so use this rule: choose Small only if you measure under 16 in. or have a notably slim leg, choose XL only if you measure over 32 in., and choose Universal for everything in between. Small is available in Cool only.

How to Wear / Fit

  1. If you chose the Full Foam liner, apply it to the leg and trim to size if necessary
  2. Position the brace with the hinge center aligned to the center of the kneecap
  3. Press the length adjustment buttons and slide the telescoping frame to match your leg
  4. Fasten the straps in numbered order and secure the blue buckles until snug
  5. Pull the flexion or extension button to set your prescribed ROM angles, then apply the stop locks
  6. Slide the drop-lock toward the hinge center if your provider calls for the knee to be held at a fixed angle.

Post-Op Knee Brace for ACL, Meniscus, and Ligament Surgery Recovery

Different knee surgeries place different demands on healing tissue, and each follows its own rehabilitation timeline. The Rebound Post-Op is prescribed across a wide range of procedures because its adjustable ROM hinge aligns with the progressive protocols orthopedic surgeons use to protect repairs while restoring movement.

  • ACL, PCL, MCL, and LCL Repairs: Supports the full ligament reconstruction timeline, from locked immobilization in the first weeks through progressive ROM to full range by weeks six to eight
  • Meniscal Repairs: Restricts flexion past 90 degrees during the critical four-to-six-week healing window when sutured meniscal tissue is most vulnerable
  • Tibial Plateau Fractures: Locks in full extension during non-weight-bearing and toe-touch phases for the six to eight weeks these fractures typically require
  • Patellar Tendon Repairs: Allows independent extension control to protect the repair during early loading while still permitting flexion for seated activities
  • High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO): Built for the extended eight-to-twelve-week bracing periods that realignment surgeries demand

Why Comfort Matters in a Post-Surgical Knee Brace

Recovery takes weeks, and a brace only works if you wear it consistently. Ossur built the Rebound Post-Op with comfort features that address the most common complaints patients have with post-surgical bracing: heat buildup, slipping, and difficult application.

  • Cool or Full Foam Liner: Choose breathable, moisture-wicking Cool fabric for warmer conditions or thicker Full Foam padding for extra cushioning when the knee is still swollen and sensitive
  • Anti-Migration Straps: Dual lower cruciate straps cinch above the calf to prevent the brace from sliding down during walking, with a reversible configuration to match your leg shape
  • Telescoping Frame: Adjusts from 18.5 to 27 inches (adult) or 15 to 21 inches (pediatric) to position the hinge center directly at the knee center for accurate ROM control
  • Color-Coded Application System: Numbered frame and blue buckles guide you through the correct strap order every time, reducing mistakes when you are managing pain or relying on a caregiver
  • Lightweight Aluminum Frame: Low-profile construction distributes pressure evenly with contoured leg pads shaped to follow the natural curve of your leg

Knee Surgery Recovery Timeline: What to Expect Week by Week

How long you wear a post-op brace depends on your surgery and your surgeon's protocol. Below is a general timeline for common ligament and meniscal procedures. Always follow your surgical team's specific instructions for your recovery.

  • Weeks 0-2 (Immobilization): Brace locked at 0 degrees for weight-bearing and sleep to protect the surgical repair and prevent flexion contracture
  • Weeks 2-4 (Early Motion): Hinge gradually unlocked to allow 0-45 or 0-60 degrees of passive flexion during supervised physical therapy
  • Weeks 4-6 (Progressive Loading): ROM opens to 0-90 or 0-120 degrees as patients begin stationary cycling and active quad strengthening
  • Weeks 6-12 (Transition): Full ROM is often restored and the brace may be worn only during higher-risk activities or discontinued at your surgeon's direction

FAQs

What knee surgeries is the Ossur Rebound Post-Op Knee Brace designed for? +

It is designed for ACL, PCL, MCL, and LCL reconstruction, meniscal repair, tibial plateau fractures, patellar tendon repair, osteochondral procedures, condylar fractures, high tibial osteotomy, and knee sprains or strains requiring immobilization or controlled range of motion.

How does the ROM hinge work on this brace? +

The OneTouch hinge uses pull-tab stops to set flexion and extension limits independently from -10 to 120 degrees. Stops lock automatically once set. A separate drop-lock converts the brace to a full immobilizer at 0 degrees with a single sliding action.

What is the difference between the Cool liner and the Full Foam liner? +

The Cool liner uses breathable, moisture-wicking fabric for airflow and quick drying. The Full Foam liner provides thicker cushioning for extra comfort when the knee is swollen or sensitive after surgery. Both are removable and trimmable.

How do I measure for the correct size? +

Measure your thigh circumference 6 inches above the center of your kneecap. Pediatric fits 12-25 inches with a 15-21 inch frame. Universal fits 16-32 inches with an 18.5-27 inch frame. Universal XL fits 16-38 inches.

How long will I need to wear a post-op knee brace after ACL surgery? +

Most ACL protocols require the brace for four to six weeks, sometimes longer if meniscal repair was also performed. The brace starts locked at full extension, then gradually unlocks as your surgeon advances your ROM goals. Always follow your surgical team's specific instructions.

Can I sleep in the Ossur Rebound Post-Op Knee Brace? +

Yes. Many surgeons require wearing the brace during sleep for the first several weeks with the hinge locked at 0 degrees. This prevents the knee from settling into a bent position overnight, which can lead to a flexion contracture. The Full Foam liner adds extra cushioning for nighttime comfort.

Is this brace covered by insurance, FSA, or HSA? +

The Rebound Post-Op is PDAC approved under HCPCS codes L1832 and L1833, meeting Medicare standards for medical-grade knee orthoses. It is eligible for FSA and HSA purchase as a qualified medical expense. Contact your insurance provider for details on your coverage.

How do I keep the brace from sliding down my leg? +

The Rebound features dual lower cruciate straps that cinch above the calf to resist migration. The reversible strapping system can be configured to pull in different directions depending on your leg shape. Proper frame length also reduces slipping by keeping the hinge aligned with your knee center.

What is the difference between a post-op knee brace and a functional knee brace? +

A post-op brace provides strict immobilization and controlled ROM to protect healing tissue immediately after surgery. A functional brace is used later in recovery or during sports for dynamic stability without rigid motion limits. Many patients transition from post-op to functional as recovery progresses.
