Osteoarthritis of the knee Home Page > Solutions > Osteoarthritis of the knee Osteoarthritis of the knee is characterized by wear and deformation of the cartilage that covers the bony extremities of the femur and tibia. When the joint articulates, the bones at the joint rub against each other causing pain which can be acute and difficult to bear. About 5 million French people have knee osteoarthritis in either one knee or both knees (in 2/3rds of cases). In 85% of cases, it is the medial compartment of the knee which is affected. This disease can be highly disabling.

Plagiocephaly Home Page > Solutions > Plagiocephaly Plagiocephaly, also known as “flat head syndrome”, is a cranial deformation characterized by an asymmetrical flattening at the back or on one side of the head. Plagiocephaly is a term used exclusively for babies since the bone plates which make up their skull are soft with gaps between them to accommodate the very rapid growth of the brain at this age. It is precisely because their skulls are so malleable that this deformation can occur in babies. Read More Reasons to choose PROTEOR 25 years of experience in treating plagiocephaly Support for parents Expert centers An innovative approach based on feedback from parents Digital mastery of the design process Equipment-based solution Kinoo solution The plagiocephaly helmet is a fully customized orthopedic device. It remodels the shape of the baby’s head by changing the distribution of the pressure applied to the skull when the baby lies on its back. It guides the growth of the skull by pressing very gently on the zones that require repositioning and by encouraging growth in the zones that need to develop via voids within the helmet. Only a physician can confirm to the parents that the baby needs a helmet and can prescribe this orthosis.
