DonJoy Reaction WEB Knee Brace - All Questions

Out of the performer, lateral J, and Reaction knee braces which do you prefer? I plan to play basketball in this brace and recently had surgery on a broken tibia and torn patella tendon. I experience pain in the front of my knee and occasionally to the sides.

I have pain in my left knee. I had orthscopic surgery to remove cartilage about 30 years ago. The orthopedic doctor told me the pain is due to severe arthritis, bone-on-bone iritation, and alignment issues (my thigh bone comes in at a slight angle ).

I am active and can have pain due to being on my feet for long periods of time. I also ski and have pain while skiing and swelling afterwards.

Would the Reaction WEB Knee brace be a good choice to relieve the pain I'm experiencing?

I had a patella subluxation and grade one MCL tear this fall, would this be the best brace for those injuries. 11 years ago I did the same to the other knee requiring surgery to help with the patella tracking, I really don't want to go through that again.

I dislocated my left about 8 years ago. Ever since when I do activities I notice that it wants to slip occasionally. I will also get occasion pain behind my knee. I am about to start playing indoor soccer and since I am using my legs for kicking and running etc I really feel that I should have a brace for my knee. I am trying to decide which would be the best fit: Reaction, Tru-Pull Lite, or Tru-Pull advanced.

I have used a variety of knee braces in the past and they always seem too tight on my patella and very uncomfortable.

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

I play catcher for my baseball team and my knees have been hurting for as long as i can remember. And I was wondering if this knee brace would be ideal for playing the catcher position e.g. staying in the crouching position for long periods of time, and running a lot.

I work for a company that requires me to do many stairs with added weight (1-45lbs). What brace would be best for preventing the added stress that my knees will be under due to the impact caused by the added weight?

I have chondromalacia due to alignment issues and have very little cartilage in my right knee. I have been very inactive for the past few years due to the pain I feel doing common things like walking and climbing stairs at home and at work and even from sitting. I am looking for a knee brace that I can wear all the time that fits under clothes and is comfortable and will allow me to return to the active lifestyle I used to have before this all became such a huge issue. Will this knee brace help? Or is there a better one that you can recommend?

I suffered a complete quadriceps rupture, with surgical reattachment. I have no lateral instability, but the knee wants to buckle (suddenly) occasionally. My doctor thinks it's from slow-healing nerve damage. Other than the buckling, my knee is pretty strong except end-range stuff (still can't walk down stairs properly).

I need to start exercising again, and I'm concerned that the buckling could happen at the wrong time while moving. It's always a momentary thing, and then it catches hold again. I'm afraid if I'm moving around more, I might not be able to catch myself in time.

Will this brace work? Will the hinges slow down any sudden buckling of the knee?

I had a TKR over two years ago. Have seen 9 different Doctors about the continuing pain and stiffness in the knee but no one can tell me what is wrong. Have had every test that can be done any none of them can see anything wrong with the knee replacement nor the soft tissue. I wear a compression brace that is I would say mild support and it helps. I am 62 and love to walk and play golf but have a little difficulty doing both because of the pain. Would you suggest one of your braces? Hurst when I twist it. Thanks

Would this be good for someone who had surgery for an osteochondral defect? I play lacrosse so I would be doing a lot of cutting, planting, etc.
