Understanding Tricompartmental Osteoarthritis (TCO) and How the Right Knee Brace Can Help

🧠 What Is Tricompartmental Osteoarthritis?

Tricompartmental osteoarthritis (TCO) is a form of knee arthritis that affects all three compartments of the knee: the medial, lateral, and patellofemoral areas. Unlike isolated OA, TCO is more severe and can significantly reduce your mobility and quality of life.

If you experience:

• Stiffness or swelling in your entire knee

• Difficulty walking or standing

• Pain in the front and sides of your knee...you might be dealing with tricompartmental OA.

🤕 What Causes TCO?

TCO can be caused by:

• Long-term wear and tear (aging)

• Previous injuries like torn ligaments or cartilage

• Obesity

• Repetitive strain from sports or physical labor

🩹 Why a Specialized Knee Brace Works for TCO

A standard knee brace may not be enough. A TCO-specific knee brace, like our BCI Offloader TCO Brace, is designed to:

• Support all three compartments

• Reduce pressure during walking

• Provide medial-lateral stability

• Delay or avoid the need for surgery

Our brace is also ideal for older adults, plus-size users, and those seeking non-invasive treatment options.
