Kind of seems irrelevant that it's irrelevant as most of the hinged knee braces I've seen use metal for the hinges.

Although I haven't seen too many players wearing hinged knee braces.

Maybe, but the construction of current knee braces is quite different now than years ago. Braces from 10-20 years ago had very blocky metal frames that could easily hurt someone. Modern braces, even though they are metal, are much more molded and usually don't have the same hard, blocky metal frames.
