An orthopedic brace, comprising: a rigid upright, the upright including a radius of curvature about an axis, the axis being substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the upright, the upright further including a plurality of holes that are spaced from one another along a length of the upright; a channel member slidably coupled to the rigid upright, the channel member being constructed of a plastic and including a channel portion partially bounded by first and second oppositely disposed flanges, a floor surface of the channel portion including an opening; and a spring-biased button disposed within the opening and protruding into the channel portion; wherein, the channel portion slidably receives the rigid upright such that the floor of the channel portion abuts a first surface of the upright, the first and second flanges abut second and third surfaces of the upright, and the button is selectively disposable within one of at least two of the holes in the upright to thereby prevent further translation of the upright within the channel portion.
