It changes how body weight travels through the knee joint by correcting bone alignment. It is most commonly used for knee pain and cartilage wear related to malalignment, especially \u201cknock-knee\u201d alignment. It is also used to address certain post-injury deformities and to support other joint-preserving procedures."}
