Why are online bracing products less expensive than the ones purchased in a physician office?

When you purchase your brace online, there are certain services and benefits that you won’t receive. Services that you will receive from your medical professional in the office but not from your online retailer may include:

  • assessing your medical condition to determine the most appropriate brace
  • measuring you to determine the appropriate brace size
  • assessing brace fit
  • billing your insurance company for the brace
  • in person brace return or exchange if necessary

Comparing the cost of a device online vs. the cost of the same device provided in a medical professional’s office is not a valid comparison. As the consumer, you have to decide what is right for you and consider the trade-offs. Sure, online products tend to be less expensive – but you also lose the important services and benefits outlined above. Please make your decision carefully and, when in doubt, consult your medical provider and insurance company.

Is the Lateral J Patella Brace Right for me?

If you suffer from lateral patellar subluxation, dislocations, or improper patellar tracking this is the brace for you. Still not sure? Try our Brace Advisor for personalized product recommendations to meet your needs!

Designed to support and protect:

  • Dislocating Kneecaps (Patellar dislocation)
  • Lateral Patellofemoral Malalignment
  • Lateral Patellar Subluxation
  • Chondromalacia

Best for:

  • Everyday activities
  • Non-contact sports

Stabilizes The Kneecap To Help Prevent Dislocations And Help Alleviate Pain

The DonJoy Lateral J knee brace is one of our most popular patella stabilizing brace. The brace is equipped with a tubular, lateral “J” buttress that runs alongside the knee and provides support against lateral patellar subluxation, dislocations, or improper patellar tracking. The Lateral J can be worn during day-to-day activities, as well as sports and in water.

Drytex or Neoprene? Drytex is DonJoy's exclusive solution for patients with neoprene sensitivities or those who prefer less warmth from their bracing. Constructed of a unique patented nylon core and polyester Lycra fabric, it allows for improved airflow while still giving ample support and compression. Perfect for people in warm weather climates and those with neoprene allergies or irritations. (Photo images are of Drytex material with seams. Neoprene material, not shown, does not come with seams). Neoprene is a thicker material that will provide more warmth.

With or Without Hinge? This brace is available with a removable hinge for added stability for an additional cost. You should order the brace with a hinge if you have joint instability. It will provide more medial and lateral support. Otherwise, you should order the brace without a hinge.
