Abstract
A versatile orthopedic device is arranged to convert between ligament and osteoarthritis treatment, and to accommodate a variety of leg anatomies. The orthopedic device is preferably configured as a double-upright brace indicating struts, frame component sections and associated hinges preferably intended to be along both medial and lateral sides of a wearer's leg. A strap kit with an unloading strap system may be added to the orthopedic device for conversion into an orthopedic device for osteoarthritis relief.

A versatile orthopedic device, comprising:
- a first frame component defining first and second sides having first and second extensions, respectively, and a center section spanning between the first and second extensions and defining a center line;
- a second frame component defining first and second extensions and a center section spanning between the first and second extensions, wherein the first and second frame components are arranged to be secured about an anterior side of a user's leg, the second frame component defining first and second slots on the first and second extensions, respectively, along an inner, anterior periphery thereof;
- and
- a hinge assembly including a first hinge connecting the first extensions of each of the first and second frame components, and a second hinge connecting the second extensions of each of the first and second frame components;
- an anterior tibia strap adjustably secured to the first and second extensions of the second frame component at the first and second slots;
- a posterior tibia strap adjustably secured to the first and second extension of the second frame component along outer, posterior periphery thereof, wherein the anterior tibia strap and the posterior tibia strap are independently adjustable.
