[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Can this brace aggravate the disease ?”][vc_column_text]NO!
In medicine, the positive effects of a treatment are sometimes received differently by different patients. However, in the case of this brace, we have seen that in 90% of the treated cases, the brace permanently healed the disease in 3 months. We have had two cases where the brace did not work. One child had to wear the brace longer during his sports activities and in the other case, more severe, an operation was needed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”How to maintain the End-Osgood and End-Sever brace ?”][vc_column_text]End-Osgood orthoses (end-osgood brace and strap) and End-Sever can be washed by hand in lukewarm water.
If during washing, the lycra comes off a little, you can glue it back by ironing the orthosis with a steam iron at medium temperature.
Note: When training and playing with your children, it is recommended to put a knee support over the End-Osgood brace. This will ensure proper brace maintenance and protection against tearing of the orthosis during certain shocks and prevent it from getting dirty.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][/vc_accordion][vc_column_text]
Risk factors
[/vc_column_text][vc_accordion active_tab=”0″][vc_accordion_tab title=”Physiology of the child”][vc_column_text]As your sports child grows, his body evolves and sometimes it can happen that the orthosis, which is a mold of the morphology of your child at a time T, is no longer appropriate.
To remedy this, you can mold the orthosis again by immersing it in hot water (70 – 80 ° C) and in this way, it will soften so that you can mold it again on the knee or the heel of your child.
NOTE: Be careful not to burn your child by applying the hot orthosis after having relaxed it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][/vc_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row]
