Patellofemoral osteoarthritis refers to degenerative joint disease at the point where the kneecap meets the femur (thighbone). Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. In common with its occurrence in other joints, the underlying cause of this condition when it occurs at the patellofemoral joint is a wearing down of the joint cartilage over time, and the symptoms are pain, tenderness, stiffness and inflammation. Braces such as the ones below are designed to address this condition in various ways, including realigning the patella over the femur. Please consult with your doctor before choosing a product in order to ensure that your choice is right for you.

Q Lok – Dynamic Patella Traction System
The Bio Skin Q Lok is designed to diminish the effects and aid in the rehabilitation of patellofemoral pain. Patellofemoral pain is caused by improper tracking between the patella (knee-cap) and the femur. The superior compression and unique strapping system of the Q Lok push the patella back into the correct position in the trochlear notch at the end of the femur. A properly positioned patella spreads the force in the joint over a large surface and decreases pain and wear on the joint. Constructed from Bio Skin`s breathable materials, the Q Lok gives excellent compression without causing discomfort.
