DonJoy Deluxe Hinged Knee Brace, Drytex Wrap Around, Open Popliteal, Small

I ordered this brace so that I could run with more stabilization to not put additional strain on a medial meniscus tear with bone edema. This brace is sized correctly and provides good support and stabilization. It's fairly comfortable. The one downside is it's not great for running. Knee flexion is difficult past 90 degrees with the brace on. This makes it difficult to get a good kick needed for speed. However, this feature probably makes it more ideal for doing squats with my injury although I have not attempted that yet. It also sticks out medially, so I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with knock-knees or excessive foot pronation. The brace is also not adjustable to "unload" medial or lateral stain specifically. Overall it's a good brace and a much better value than some of the others I've seen online.

These do the job very wll; keep the knee very stable.

I had my thigh, calf and knee measurements taken prior to ordering and ordered the small as all dimensions although close to the upper limits were within the specifications. Upon receipt the brace is too small and the supports are not aligning properly. I purchased this on Amazon because the price was better than a local orthopedic supply store. Now I find that can’t return a product that doesn’t fit for a correct size. Nonsense, think twice before purchasing from Amazon as the consumer means nothing and they will not do the right thing. A total waste of my time, energy annd money!

Just like the one I got from my doctor.

we will see how it is and I will update but for what I paid first impression I did not expect the hinges to come attached backwards. what a pain to have to correct this upon receiving. at this price - check your quality control. hoping everything else will work fine
