I suggest asking your physician what type of brace you should be wearing for that injury. Some doctors want you in a knee immobilizer for a fx patella, so that your knee does not bend

Just got a acl defiance brace and it fits well however velcro on the bottom 2 straps will not hold with my activity. I use the brace mainly for kiteboarding jumping. Lots of hard contact and being drug around. Any advice? I'm confident the brace is not defective it just doesn't seem able to handle all the hard contact activity. In addition the padding inside will not stay on place and the velcro inside the brace irritates my skin. My husband and I are considering using epoxy to hold the foam in place. Any advice on that? This was the first day of using the brace. I have tried other brands other than donjoy with similar problems. Since this was the cream of the crop brace and advertised as water tolerant brace I was hopefull it would be the brace for me. :(

I had my ACL and MCL repaired this spring. I am planning on skiing this winter and am wondering which don joy knee brace would be the best for my situation.
Question by: Kristi on Aug 27, 2015, 12:06 PM
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Betterbraces. Your ACL brace options are either a Custom Defiance or an Off the Shelf Armor. Both these brace are the most rigid recommended for contact sports where a collison is highly likely to happen. Please contact us and we can explain the options you have on both braces. 1-800-553-6019.

Yes the Defiance III would be the right brace for you to wear while playing football. The brace is custom made for your knee only and will prevent any further knee injuries while allowing you to be completley functional.

I have a meniscus tear that I would like to rehab before trying surgery. I have taken up tennis and I am also on a diet where I have lost 100lbs and will likely loose 70 to 100 more. Would this brace help relieve some of the pressure on the tear while rehabilitating, and would I be able to adjust this brace after the weight loss?

The Defiance is a custom knee brace and can be made with a OA hinge that will offload the side of your knee that has the meniscus tear. This offloding will help decrease pain in that area while wearing the brace. When ordering the Defiance we give you four months in which you can get 1 free re-make if your leg changes girth. After 4 months it is a $320 charge.

I had a lateral retinacular release and half my meniscus removed. The lateral retinacular release was suppose to help with the fact that my knee cap rotates excessively and when my knee cap rotated outwards it would pull on ligaments in my knee. i also have tendinitis in my knee and have generally week ligaments. I've been to countless hours of physical therapy to "strengthen" my knee but nothing seems to help and i feel as if I'm doing more damage than good. I'm a swimmer, water polo player I also snowboard, but for water polo and swim we do a lot of land stuff like 6 mile runs and we run the football stadium bleachers and even the hill behind the high school and workout in our weight room. I just want to know if there is a brace out there that would help give me support to continue to play my sports in less pain.

I would suggest the Reaction web Knee brace. This brace's design is meant to absorb force put on the knee and disperse it away from the front of the knee to decrease anterior knee pain. The brace is low profile and light weight. https://www.donjoystore.com/donjoy-reaction-knee-brace

Hi,
I had a knee dislocation, and I tore my popliteal artery- which required a graft to repair it, I also have multiple tears - ACL, PCL, LCL, popliteus tendon, medial retinaculum, and bilateral gastrocnemius tendon. lateral meniscus tears - all in my right knee. My left knee has an ACL that is attenuated - I'm unsure if it is actually torn. What would be the best braces for my knees? I was looking at the Defiance /the A22/ the full force/ or the legend SE for my right knee - I would like something that gives the best support/protection against re-injury. For the left I am unsure - I just need something to alleviate the knee pain and gives me the best protection from re-injury on my left knee.

The Defiance sounds like it would be the best brace for both knees. The Defiance is custom made for your knee only and provides the most protection for re-injury.
