Abstract
A hinge for an orthopedic brace has two rotation plates, a pivotal connector connecting the rotation plates, a rotation limiting mechanism, and a rotation locking mechanism. The rotation limiting mechanism includes a rotation limiting face formed in one of the rotation plates and a rotation limiting assembly which has a stop face engageable with the rotation limiting face upon rotation of the rotation plates in a given direction to limit further rotation in that direction. The rotation locking mechanism includes a series of lock notches formed in one of the rotation plates and a rotation lock pin positionable within one of the lock notches to lock the rotation plates in a fixed position.
