I have had a lateral release and 3 scopes to remove loose cartilage, especially on the back of my knee cap. After the third scope which was 12/2012 my knee hasn't recovered as it has in the past. Pain across the front of the knee, the outside, and the inside of the back of the joint that the doctor tells me it is due to the swelling that occurs when I engage in physical activity. It also hyperextends and gives out on me from time to time, and is showing the beginning signs of OA. Which brace would you recommend for me? Thanks in advance.

Hello Matt,
Do you have medial or lateral OA or Both? Find out from your Physician which meniscus is affected.
An OA Brace is not recommended for someone who has Bilateral OA. It would cause more pain. Since, an OA brace shifts the weight from the affected side of the knee to the healthy side.
If you are not a candidate for an OA Brace I recommend a Soft Hinged Brace or a Rigid knee Brace.
See Below.

Question by: WHITIE on Jun 13, 2013, 12:00 PM
Hello,
Below you will find links to videos, click on ACL Fitting. This is not your Brace but it's the same application. Each Strap is labeled, in order of application.

I have the DonJoy OA Nano Knee Brace which my doctor recommended I use after my second knee surgery this May. It does help a lot with my walking. I do want to know if the brace is water proof. I was reading all the information about the brace and it doesn't say if I can get the brace wet.
Thank you
Thank you

Question by: Damon on Jul 20, 2013, 5:23 AM
Hello Damon,
Here is where your measurement fall.
Thigh-large
knee-XXL
Calf-XXL
Looks like you may have some atrophy of your quadriceps muscle. I recommend the XXL, the thigh and calf bar are malleable, you can bend the thigh frame to accomodate the smaller size.
Have a Great Day.

I have a script for a right lateral off-load brace. I often wear a wetsuit for kiteboarding. Can the nano brace be worn over a 2mm wetsuit?

Joe,
Thank you for your question. This brace can be worn over a wetsuit. Make sure to rinse the brace well after each use.

I want to order a DonJoy OA nano knee brace but my measurements are a little off on your size chart: thigh 29", knee 17"' calf 16". What do you advise?
Question by: Arthur G Latto on Jan 17, 2014, 11:30 AM
Hello,
I recommend you re-measure. Your thigh is an XXL, knee is XL, and calf is a L. This would require a custom knee brace. Re-measure and see if you get the same measurements.
Thanks for Contacting Donjoy

The meausrements are between a Medium and a Larg. We need to acomidate the knee width so go with the large, you can bend in the frame a little if it is slightly too big, your cal f should be fine but you can do the same for that as well if there is a litte extra room
