Hug-A-Leg Photos   *Medical Fact : The foot rotates outward about 15 degrees more than the upper leg when lying down. That causes the fractured bones, hematoma, callus, torn nerves-vessels-tendons and ligaments to rotationally move 15 degrees apart when lying down. This interupts healing of blood vessels needed for new bone to grow well. "Yet, only when there is - less than 5 degrees of malrotation - is the healing ideal. More than 5 degrees of rotational angulation results in various degrees of malalignment -- with a long term outcome of subsequent arthritis and cartilage degeneration at the joints proximal and distal to the fracture. Peak pressures of malaligned bones - are responsible for degeneration of the joints along the kinetic chain. This is well documented in the Medical literature and is costly to national health system"          ( for larger Image of leg injury Chart, Click on photo ).         Click Here for Leg Injury Chart and Description    "The HUG-A-LEG Orthopedic device keeps the injured lower leg from twisting and stable during the recovery period from injury or surgery - this is how HUG-A-LEG keeps soft tissues from further injury, additional damage, trauma or tearing."    HUG-A-LEG is a TM of Medical Industries of America, LLC 1735 Post Rd -unit 6 Fairfield, CT. 06824 Phone 1-866-DOC-3456 www.hug-a-leg.com This Product is available only for license or purchase of the two patents, Trademarks and other intellectual properties.
