IndexPreface
Alone in Germany, over 100’000 patients suffer from injuries to their anterior cruciate ligament every
year. In addition, a considerable amount of people tear their posterior cruciate ligament or display a
number of other knee injuries or signs of wear and tear such as arthrosis. The anterior cruciate ligament,
which serves as the central stabilizer, is the most commonly injured ligament in the knee joint.
The gravity of the injury, which used to simply and insufficiently be considered a strain,
is now more commonly diagnosed by a modern procedure. Without the anterior cruciate
ligament, a knee joint wears down at a considerably quicker pace. Just five years after
an anterior cruciate ligament injury, over 80% of patients suffer from painful meniscus
injuries and the beginning of arthrosis. If no operative stabilization is possible, the knee
joint can be protected by ortheses, better known as braces.
Since the treatment of knee injuries is an absolute focal point of the medical treatment in
sports orthopedics at the Orthopedic Clinic of Markgröningen (OKM - Orthopädischen Klinik Mark-
gröningen), it is important that the post-operative and conservative orthopedic care and support is
offered at the highest level at our center for arthroscopy and special joint surgery.
As a result of the indication-dependent model selection and our individual manufacturing
techniques, the K-COM knee brace presents the most comprehensive support and provi-
sion concept for stabilization when caring for the knee joint.
Through the intensive cooperation with specialized medical experts, physiotherapists,
and athletes, it has been possible to develop a truly new support and provision concept
for the knee joint. It is something that is particularly convincing for our patients, which is
established thanks to the optimal stabilization of the knee joint at a minimal weight and maximum
wearing comfort. All the while, we continue to further develop the K-COM concept. It has establis-
hed itself incredibly in recent decades and is used by many well-known physicians for care and
support with the most demanding of injuries and knee-instabilities.
