In order to achieve required strength and comfort, traditional knee braces have compound hinge structures. Disclosed is a single hinge knee brace having sufficient strength for bracing a human knee without significantly reducing the comfort of someone using such a brace. The knee brace has two support arms hingedly connected by a large diameter semi-spherical joint having a substantially concave inner surface. The knee brace has a fixed flexion-extension axis throughout all degrees of flexion and extension of the knee. The fixed flexion-extension axis of the knee brace is directed inferiorly and posteriorly from the medial condyle to the lateral portion and is offset from both the transverse and coronal planes equally by 2.5 to 4.0 degrees. The resulting knee brace is less costly to manufacture.
