Non-operative treatment of unicompartmental osteoarthritis of the knee: A prospective randomized trial with two different braces—ankle–foot orthosis vs knee unloader brace

Petersen W, et al. - Authors evaluated the outcomes of patients with medial osteoarthritis (OA) after treatment with a conventional knee unloader brace (Unloader One®) vs a new foot ankle orthosis (Agilium FreeStep®).
