He is also able to perform sexual activities with the affected knee in the flexed position.

The knee is immobilized in a defined, slightly flexed position, which relaxes the anterior cruciate ligament.

The splint is designed such that it can be adapted in an optimum manner to the position of the broken finger assuming its intermediate bent position.

However, since the head should maintain a minimum bent position which differs in individual cases, a displacement zone of approximately 10 cm is added for this purpose.

Depending on the flexional position, a defined alignment of the meniscus element with respect to the tibial part and the femoral part is assured, and additional abutments, stops and the like are therefore unnecessary.

A relatively static muscle work of the arms while supporting the weight of the upper body which is leaning forward can usually be observed during movement of the handle bars with the arms bent. This can be largely reduced in the manner described above.

The genu knee joint bandage is a three-dimensional anatomical two-stretch bandage which is knitted to shape which extends from the lower leg to the thigh and possesses a functional slight flexural position of approximately 10° and is fitted with pressure-reducing borders.

The bandage extends from the lower leg to the thigh and possesses a functional slight flexural position of approximately 10° and is fitted with pressure-reducing borders.

For this reason, assuming a sitting position without difficulty, whereby the prosthetic knee joint is at a bend angle approaching 90°, is limited without additional technical devices, because in this body position the largely unloaded prosthetic shin is attempting to return to its stretch position.

That is because if cylinder 5 has a springloaded element fitted which is tensioned when a movement of the joint is initiated from the stretch position, then its action reversal at a bending angle of approximately 90° will ease sitting by the amputee, because the stretching effect of the tensioned springloaded element on the lower thigh at this angle is exactly zero and this reverses when the angle is exceeded, i.e. supporting the bending position.

However, since the head should maintain a minimum bent position which differs in individual cases, a displacement zone of approximately 10 cm is added for this purpose.

Fingers showing a fracture can, however, not be maintained motionless while being in stretched position. Instead, the fingers must maintained motionless while in an intermediate bent position of the fingers so that the sinews are stretched and the fingers will not become stiffened.

As a consequence, the splint must be brought to a position corresponding to the intermediate bent position of the finger to be supported and the splint must maintain this position during the total healing process.

It is a further object of the invention to provide a splint which can in a simple manner be bent into a position as is required for supporting the fractured finger and the fractured metacarpus, respectively, and which maintains in an optimum manner this position during the whole healing process.

If a splint is to support a finger assuming its bent position in an optimum manner and if twisting errors are to be excluded at the area of the fracture, the possibility of known splints to twist and to bend are insufficient for this purpose.

A problem is also sliding of skin that in bending is somehow pulled forward, and during the examination in upright position it cannot present the factual line of spinous processes.

It is commonly assumed that a great number of skeletons in this flexed position are characteristic for later burials but this canâ€TMt always be proven by facts.

The respective flexion angle is determined between a stretched position in which the femur and the tibia substantially define a common longitudinal axis, and a corresponding bent position between the femur and the tibia.

The invention is intended to remedy this by creating an endoprosthesis for knee joint arthrodesis, which on the one hand guarantees the desired and stable stiffening, thus in particular during walking, resulting in a stable control of the stiffened leg when extended, but on the other hand permits a change in the flexed position of the lower leg relative to the upper leg.

Thus, the correction pad can be guided in the direction towards and counter to the joint to be treated, for example, in a neutral position (0° of the joint according to the so-called neutral zero method, the standardized orthopedic evaluation index for joints) or in a bending position (flexion) of the joint, for example, for a knee angle range from 0 to 25° or approximately 30°.

Thus, the correction pad may be pressed counter to the knee joint or the elbow joint, for example, (only) between a bending position of from 20 degrees to the neutral position of the joint to be stabilized.

In a typical procedure for carrying out the preparatory resections for the femoral implant which is to be selected with respect to the suitable size, the distal condyle cut is firstly realized once the patient's knee joint has been exposed with the knee in a bent position, in other words, in flexion (the bent position typically being approximately 90°), in which procedure a first planar cut surface is created at the point at which the distal condyles, in other words joint surfaces, of the femur are arranged.

The shell of this knee brace is composed of several anatomically true blanks, in which case the blanks and the reinforcement rods possess a configuration and curvature that is intended to fixate the knee joint in a flexed position of approximately 20°.
