Inventor of the Freedom Leg
Trusted by medical professionals
“I’ve used the Freedom Leg for over 10 years on all kinds of injuries – Achilles ruptures, ankle fractures, after foot surgery. I’ve seen a reduction in disuse atrophy, and there’s a reduced risk of blood clots because you’re firing the muscles in the surgical leg.”
– Dr. Larry Maurer, DPM

FAQ
Is the Freedom Leg covered by insurance?
The Freedom Leg is typically covered by insurance. The best way to find out for sure is to call your insurance company (800 number on your insurance card) and ask them the coverage for medical device code L2136.
The most common way patients obtain the brace is by purchasing the brace directly from us through freedomleg.com or by calling +1 888-816-8127. Once the brace has shipped, we will email you a copy of the invoice that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. This is the quickest and easiest way to receive a brace covered by insurance.
You can alternatively have a medical device supplier near you order the brace for you, and they can handle the insurance billing directly — they will just need the size of the brace and your insurance information. Have them give us a call at +1 888-816-8127 to place the order.

What size Freedom Leg is right for me?
80% of people are a regular size brace with a standard strap length. If you are in between sizes, we usually recommend going with the larger size. Please visit our Freedom Leg Documents page for our sizing chart.
Can I use the Freedom Leg for non-weight bearing?
Yes! The Freedom Leg is specifically designed for non-weight bearing conditions. It transfers all weight from the knee to the foot through the brace, allowing you to walk without putting pressure on your injured leg. It is a hands-free, doctor-recommended alternative to crutches that keeps you mobile and independent during recovery.
Is the Freedom Leg compatible with casts and boots?
Yes, the Freedom Leg is compatible with both walking boots and casts. The base height of the brace is adjusted so your foot and boot or cast are elevated from the ground. You can adjust the brace for a secure fit to ensure stability and comfort regardless of what you are wearing on your lower leg.
