With its adjustable hinges, the user can control the ROM (range of motion) and lock the joint into full immobilization or controlled degrees of flexion/extension.

Post-Op TPLO Brace

Finally got to see this brace in action at their booth in Orlando. The hinges have an adjustable range of motion that most braces don't allow for. Looking forward to seeing more veterinarians incorporate this brace into their rehabilitation plans.

This did not fit my dog at all. It was the correct size because a small would have been too little and a large too big. I wonder if it is because Shiba Inus have different shaped legs. It was a lot if money for something to keep in a drawer.
