The knee has three compartments: medial, lateral, and patellofemoral. Osteoarthritis often affects one compartment more severely, leading to pain, swelling, and progressive deformity such as bowleg alignment from medial compartment arthritis.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8bf63e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8bf63e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The brace works by applying a three-point pressure system that gently pushes the knee away from the affected side, creating a slight opening of the joint space on the arthritic side. This unloads the damaged cartilage, transferring force to the healthier side of the knee and to the brace itself.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
