“I've been wearing knee braces for years for my OA and this is the best I've tried at this price. The valgus adjustment makes a real difference — you can feel the pressure shift off the damaged side within a few steps. Stays in place all day without slipping.”— M***k, London, Verified customer
OA UNLOADER BRACE
The OrthoLock is an OA unloader knee brace designed to reduce pressure on the affected compartment of the knee joint. The medical-grade shell provides rigid structural support while the internal soft condyle pads and silicone non-slip liners maintain comfort during extended wear. Shown in use in the product images with full strap configuration. Suitable for mild unicompartmental osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, meniscal cartilage conditions, patella protection, joint injury, tendon injury and ligament strain.
VARUS / VALGUS CORRECTION
The OrthoLock includes a built-in varus/valgus correction mechanism shown in the product specification image. A screwdriver-adjustable dial on the side of the brace allows the correction angle to be set precisely — clockwise to correct valgus alignment, counter-clockwise to correct varus. The correction is applied gradually and can be modified at any time. The adjustment dial is visible on the outer hinge of the brace and requires a standard flathead screwdriver.
6-PART CONSTRUCTION
The OrthoLock is built from six structural components as shown in the product specification image: a medical-grade shell, flexion and extension blocks that control range of motion, quick-release buckles for fast removal, silicone non-slip liners to prevent the brace from shifting during use, soft condyle pads for joint comfort, and six adjustable straps for a secure and customised fit. Available in left and right configurations — sold separately.
7 SUPPORTED CONDITIONS
The OrthoLock is designed for use across a range of knee conditions confirmed in the product specification image: mild unicompartmental osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bow leg correction, knee conditions requiring load reduction, meniscal cartilage defect repair, avascular necrosis or tibial plateau fracture, and bone-on-bone knee issues. The brace supports patella protection, joint injury, tendon injury and ligament strain. Suitable for men and women. Consult a healthcare professional before use if post-operative or managing a diagnosed condition.

I tore my MCL eight months ago and this brace has been central to my recovery. The aluminium frame holds the joint in alignment without restricting movement uncomfortably, and the hinged mechanism means I can walk normally rather than locking my leg straight. My physio approved it as a complement to my exercises.
I've worn knee braces on and off for four years after a meniscus injury. This is the first one that fits properly and stays in place throughout the day. The side supports prevent the lateral movement that causes me pain, and the padding doesn't overheat the skin even during longer wear.
The build quality is immediately obvious — solid aluminium side bars, proper stitching on the pads, and secure buckle closures. I compared it to a brace from a physiotherapy clinic costing four times the price and the structural design is very similar. Good value for a medical-grade level of support.
I used this brace for sleep after knee surgery — my consultant recommended keeping the joint supported at night during the first weeks of recovery. It's comfortable enough to wear for hours and the straps stay secure without cutting off circulation. Made a real difference to how quickly I got back to walking normally.
Osteoarthritis has made daily activities increasingly difficult over the past two years. This brace has given me back the confidence to walk longer distances — the offloading effect on the medial compartment is noticeable within the first session. I wear it for shopping and longer walks and the difference is significant.
I ordered this after a running injury left me unable to train for six weeks. It stabilised the joint enough to allow gentle jogging within two weeks and I've been gradually increasing distance. The fit adjusts to suit different levels of swelling — something I hadn't considered but turned out to be essential during recovery.
I've been dealing with knee instability for three years following a ligament sprain. The OrthoLock has reduced the number of times my knee gives way from several times a week to almost never. I wear it during work shifts where I'm on my feet all day and it holds up without needing to be re-adjusted.
The sizing guide was accurate and the brace fitted correctly from the first use. The hinged design allows a good range of motion for cycling and walking, and the aluminium stays don't flex under load. I've had braces from sports shops that felt cheap by comparison — this one is noticeably more substantial.
An OA (osteoarthritis) unloader brace is designed to shift load away from the damaged compartment of the knee joint. Rather than compressing the joint uniformly like a standard sleeve, the OrthoLock applies a corrective force via the varus/valgus adjustment mechanism — redirecting pressure toward the healthier side of the joint. This reduces pain during walking and standing by offloading the affected area.
The OrthoLock has a screwdriver-adjustable dial on the outer hinge of the brace. Turning it clockwise applies a valgus correction force — pushing the knee inward. Turning it counter-clockwise applies a varus correction — pushing the knee outward. Adjust in small increments and test the fit before use. Refer to the included instruction manual for the recommended starting position and adjustment guidance.
The OrthoLock is available in left and right configurations, sold separately. The left version fits the left knee and the right version fits the right knee. Check the product variant selector before adding to cart. If you are unsure, the affected leg is the one with pain or the diagnosed condition.
The OrthoLock is designed for mild unicompartmental osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bow leg correction conditions, knee conditions requiring load reduction, meniscal cartilage defect repair, avascular necrosis or tibial plateau fracture, and bone-on-bone knee issues. It also supports patella protection, joint injury, tendon injury and ligament strain. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are post-operative or managing a diagnosed condition.
The OrthoLock is designed for extended daily wear. The silicone non-slip liners and soft condyle pads maintain comfort during prolonged use. Start with shorter wear periods to allow the fit to be confirmed and adjusted before wearing for full days. Remove the brace if you experience any unusual pressure, numbness or discomfort and re-check the strap tension and correction setting.
Position the OrthoLock over the knee with the hinge aligned to the outside of the joint. Secure the six straps from the top down, starting with the upper thigh strap and working toward the lower calf strap. The quick-release buckles click securely into place. The brace should feel firm but not restrictive. Refer to the included instruction manual for full fitting guidance and sizing information before first use.
