A brace hinge (20) is provided having an adjustable pressure-applying assembly (86) mounted to an inside of the hinge. A brace including the hinge can apply pressure to a joint in a medial or lateral direction. The hinge includes anterior and posterior apertures (34, 36) containing anterior and posterior adjustment members (44, 46) that control a position and orientation of the pressure-applying assembly relative to the hinge. Through selective adjustment of the adjustment members, the hinge can apply greater pressure to an anterior portion of the joint than to a posterior portion of the joint, and vice versa. A method of treating a joint using a brace including such a hinge is also provided.

L'invention concerne une charnière (20) de prothèse présentant un ensemble (86) d'application de pression ajustable monté à l'intérieur de ladite charnière. Une prothèse comprenant ladite charnière peut appliquer une pression sur une articulation dans un sens médial ou latéral. Ladite charnière comprend des ouvertures antérieure et postérieure (34, 36) contenant des éléments d'ajustement antérieur et postérieur (44, 46) qui règlent une position et une orientation de l'ensemble d'application de pression par rapport à ladite charnière. Au moyen d'un ajustement sélectif desdits éléments d'ajustement, ladite charnière peut appliquer une pression plus importante sur une partie antérieure de l'articulation que sur une partie postérieure de l'articulation, et inversement. L'invention concerne également un procédé de traitement d'une articulation au moyen d'une prothèse comprenant ladite charnière.
