Re: Arizona or Colorado Brace after foot surgery

Hello Sister Mary Catharine,

Many companies seem to have jumped on the bandwagon offering their version of an ankle/foot orthosis. The whole idea behind the design is to control/limit the motion of the ankle/foot and the CO brace just will not achieve that goal.

I agree and believe that you can obtain more support from one of the OTC straps than this leather device. They are also a lot less expensive.

Good luck with your surgery.
