Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use FSA/HSA funds, and does OrthoTape bill insurance?
FSA/HSA reimbursement may be available depending on your plan. OrthoTape does not bill insurance directly. Compare the total self-pay price with your provider and confirm any reimbursement requirements with your plan administrator.
What is elbow hyperextension and how does this brace prevent it?
Elbow hyperextension occurs when the elbow joint is forced beyond its normal range of motion — bending backward past straight. This can tear the UCL, joint capsule, or surrounding ligaments. The Hypercontrol's dual aluminum hinge bars and criss-cross strap system help limit elbow extension beyond the intended range when correctly fitted; the brace does not guarantee injury prevention.
What sports is the DeRoyal Hypercontrol designed for?
The Hypercontrol is designed for contact sports including football, wrestling, basketball, baseball, lacrosse, hockey, and martial arts. Its low-profile design fits under athletic uniforms and pads without adding bulk.
Can I wear this brace after UCL reconstruction (Tommy John surgery)?
Many athletes use a hinged elbow brace like the Hypercontrol during the return-to-sport phase following UCL reconstruction (Tommy John surgery). However, your surgeon or physical therapist must clear you for brace use and athletic activity. This brace is designed for the active rehabilitation and return-to-play phases — not as a post-operative immobilizer.
What is Valgus Extension Overload (VEO) and can this brace help?
Valgus Extension Overload (VEO) is a condition common in overhead throwing athletes — particularly baseball pitchers — where repetitive valgus stress during the throwing motion causes impingement and bone spur formation at the posteromedial elbow. The Hypercontrol's rotational control and medial support is intended to support the elbow; whether it is suitable for valgus extension overload should be determined by the treating clinician. Always consult your orthopedic surgeon or sports medicine physician for diagnosis and treatment.
Is the DeRoyal Hypercontrol Elbow Brace FSA or HSA eligible?
This medical brace may qualify for FSA/HSA reimbursement, subject to plan requirements. HCPCS code L3710 may apply — verify coverage with your insurance provider. OrthoTape does not bill insurance directly.
