Osteoarthritis bracing is generally used when the arthritic changes to the knee joint have progressed to the point where there is pain upon ambulation. Typically, the cartilage that cushions the joints deteriorates, and that lack of cushion—combined with high pressures inside the joint [while in motion]—can create substantial pain. Some patients may even be fully bone on bone in a joint where there should be cartilage to cushion things.
