DonJoyLateral J Patella Knee Support Brace with Hinge: Drytex, Left Leg, Large

My physical therapist suggested this brace for my medial meniscus tear. Wearing this protected my knee and allowed it to heal. Be sure to measure you knee as the instructions direct. In my opinion, the brace is better suited for a man’s leg. Women can have a different shape. The top was tight for me because I have some chubbiness around my thigh that my husband has never had at any weight. But I doubt there is a manufacturer that allows for that. Still - the brace made all the difference in my recovery.

I bought this because the one I got from the doctor wasn't velcroing right. TERRIBLE cheap material, has very little stretch to it, and almost impossible to put on a bare leg. Will not be buying again

My boyfriend unfortunately dislocated his knee for the second time at work and workers comp disnt get him the proper therapy and treatment needed for him to heal. This is the only thing along with walks that has made him feel safe to walk. He sleeps in it, work in it, washes it weekly and since he washes it with his work clothes he is on his third pair. But its worth buying it 100x it makes you feel secure and does the job

I thought getting the hinges would be beneficial, but they’re so flimsy that it’s not worth the added cost. Threads are already starting to pull away from mine. I’ve also found that I need to wear an under sleeve as a must in order to avoid irritation and chaffing on my skin.

exactly what was needed

My son came off a bad injury so we decided to try this brace as the one from the ortho dr kept braking. This one has been a lifesaver!!!!

I bought a large and it's still too small. It will not fit over any of my jeans but it's too thick to fit underneath any of them either. Awfully big manufacturing oversight for something that costs so much. It fits on bare skin just fine, but I can't exactly wear shorts to work, especially in winter, to be able to wear the brace.

Fits well — runs large actually ... easy to put on.
