My thigh and calf measurements place me in the medium size range but my knee size does so in the large range. Which size would fit best?

I had a ACL repair but after playing soccer post rehab it got a little loose on me. Now when I play any type of dynamic sport my knee gets a little loose. What brace should I choose the full force. Defiance. The only dynamic sport I do now without instability is skiing. But I would like tp play soccer and b ball with my kids.
Which would be the best choice defiance, full force ?
Also what difference between rx braces and off the shelf. Thanks. Ken

Hello Ken,
The DonJoy Defiance is a custom knee brace that is built specifically to your measurements. Because of this, the Defiance will always be the best rigid brace we carry in support and ACL protection.
The DonJoy Fullforce is a great top of the line off the shelf brace (meaning sized like small, medium, large). This brace will add support and stability to the knee and help protect the ACL.
Neither braces will require a prescription.
Either brace will fit the application and activity level you described.

1. What is the difference in inches between the "standard" and "short" size?
2. What part of the brace is shorter on the "short" size, the part of the brace which is below the hinge or above the hinge?
3. I am purchasing the brace primarily to avoid knee hyper-extension ( PCL protection?). I see that in the "Knee Compartment" section above there are three options in the "Choose option..." box: ACL, CI and PCL. Does each of these represent a slight variation in the brace and if so, what are the variations?
Thank you.
Franz

Hello Whitney,
The DonJoy Armor is a great rigid brace. If you want the same protection in a lighter brace, also check out the DonJoy Full Force Ligament Knee Brace.

Hi there i was looking on your sight about a knee brace that would help prevent injuries towards my right knee, i have a torn MCL and a slighty torn ACL i am a football athlete looking for something i can depend on. I was viewing the DonJoy Knee Brace with Standard Hinge. would this be something you recommend? With that said i also saw something about no delievy's to Canada, would this mean i cant purchase a brace from you're company?
Thank you for your time.
Thank you for your time.
Question by: Matt on May 23, 2012, 8:42 AM
The Armor with FourcePoint Hinges are best for ACL injuries. You could use the standard hinge as well, it just provides less support specifically for the ACL. For Canadian orders please call our Canadian office at 866-866-5031.

Does this brace come in any other colors?
Question by: Brandon on Feb 10, 2013, 2:13 AM
Hello, Brandon -
No, this brace does not come in any other colors. The only braces that you are able to choose a color or pattern would be our custom Defiance braces.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!

Which Knee Compartment do I choose for an MCL/Meniscus tear injury?
thanks!
thanks!
Question by: Lori on Apr 3, 2013, 9:57 PM
Hello, Lori -
If you have an MCL/Meniscus tear, the strapping does not affect these injuries. The strapping is for either ACL, PCL or CI (combined instability). It is normally recommended to choose ACL strapping, unless you know for sure you have PCL injury involvement because the ACL is the most commonly injured ligament.

I have a meniscus tear but the ligaments are still in tact. Which knee compartment would you recommend for this brace?

Hello. I have an torn ACL, torn meniscus that was shaved down and removed debris and also little to no cartridge in my left knee. I recently purchased an armor action brace. Was that the wrong brace to purchase.
