The medical reason why one would use a knee strap is to apply pressure to the area below the knee cap. This helps to alleviate knee pain and provide support for tendonitis.

Can a knee strap or knee brace fix crooked knees?

I'm a teen and I've dislocated my knee twice. Usually, when your knee is crooked it's just where your patella sits. People with bad knees, their knees sit lower on the bone than normal. It's not actually 'fixable' unless it's swelling or broken. A knee strap and brace will help with support but not the actual physical look.

How do you strap a torn pcl?

To strap a torn posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), first, ensure the knee is in a stable position. Use a knee brace designed for PCL injuries to provide support and limit movement. If a brace isn't available, you can use elastic bandages or tape to create a supportive wrap around the knee, ensuring it's snug but not too tight to restrict circulation. Always consult a medical professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
