A device for engaging a leg near the knee includes a cradle having a lateral portion with a lateral axial length, a medial region, and a dorsal portion connecting between the lateral section and the medial region. The lateral portion extends distally farther than the dorsal portion. A fastening arrangement can secure the cradle to the leg. The lateral portion of the cradle is placed against the lateral side of the thigh and the dorsal portion is placed behind the thigh so that the lateral portion but not the dorsal portion laps the knee.
