The invention relates to a knee brace with sagittal adjustment, that is a brace or an orthotic device capable of correcting the knee joint into varus or valgus for osteoarthritis treatment. The knee brace comprises a thigh cuff (1) and a shin cuff (2) interconnected by a hinge portion (3) on the lateral side of the knee brace only. According to the invention, the hinge portion is capable of providing a sagittal correction force to correct the position of a knee joint into varus or valgus. Preferably, the hinge portion comprises a structure which may be locked in a curved or angled position to provide the sagittal correction force.

L'invention concerne une orthèse de genou comportant un réglage sagittal, c'est-à-dire un support ou un dispositif orthostatique capable de corriger l'articulation du genou en varus ou valgus pour le traitement de l'ostéoarthrite. Cette orthèse comprend une partie cuisse (1) et une partie mollet (2) tenant la jambe par des bracelets et accouplées par une partie charnière (3) placée sur le côté latéral de l'orthèse seulement. Selon l'invention, cette partie charnière est capable d'exercer une force de correction sagittale afin de corriger la position de l'articulation du genou en varus ou valgus. Elle comprend, de préférence, une structure pouvant être verrouillée dans une position incurvée ou inclinée, ce qui produit la force de correction sagittale.
