Open patella braces, as the name suggests, leave the patella or kneecap uncovered. Some models are completely open in front, while others have a small reinforced opening just large enough for the patella. Some doctors consider open patella braces more comfortable for extended wear than closed patella braces, which take the form of a continuous tube of supportive material.anyhow ask your orthopedic doctor once before you use open one.
