OrthoMedix provides custom fitting of orthopaedic devices when prescribed by a physician.  Custom devices are available for a variety of functions.  These require a cast impression, specific measurements and/or adjustments for the patient the device is prescribed for.

Custom knee braces require either a cast impression of the patient’s knee or measurements taken with a device provided by the brace manufacturer thus ensuring a custom fit for the patient.  Some condition requiring a patient to wear a custom knee brace include; anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), injuries or instabilities, osteoarthritis, pre and post surgery requirements, certain genetic conditions, and, unsuitability for surgery among others.

Patients requiring post-op hip braces, hyperextension braces (Jewitt), TLSOs, and LSOs are fitted in our offices, at the hospital, or at home when the patient is bed-ridden (in metro Ottawa area).  These require measurements, adjustments and fitting by our experts who explain proper use and installation to the patient and/or caregiver.
