Frequently Asked Questions — DeRoyal Hypercontrol Elbow Brace
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 mechanically block the elbow from extending past a safe range, protecting healing or vulnerable structures during athletic activity.
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 can help reduce valgus stress during athletic activity. Always consult your orthopedic surgeon or sports medicine physician for diagnosis and treatment.
Is the DeRoyal Hypercontrol Elbow Brace FSA or HSA eligible?
Yes. The DeRoyal Hypercontrol is a medical device and is generally FSA (Flexible Spending Account) and HSA (Health Savings Account) eligible. HCPCS code L3760 may apply — verify coverage with your insurance provider. OrthoTape does not bill insurance directly.
