I have severe minicus tears in both knees and I need a brace that keeps the knee from dislocating with any twisting movements. I have arthritis and overall degeneration..Ive had surgery's to correct some of the damages(acl repairs,etc), but no knee replacements yet...this brace looks like it might offer me fairly good overall support. Im I correct?

The the DonJoy Reaction Knee brace is mostly used for Patellofemoal issues, i.e. patella tracking, patella dislocations, & tendonitis, just to name a few. With the injuries and issues you have going on with your knees, and if you are active, I would recommend looking at a more sturdier brace that will protect from dislocations, ligament problems, arthritis and degeration. The brace that I would recommend would be the OA adjusted, it will help protect the ACL you have had repaired, as well help off load the torn menicis that you have, and with the strapping and extension stops available, this brace will help prevent against hyperextending the knee.

Hi. Concerning the Donjoy Reaction knee brace, can you tell me what the hinges are made of and the side supports coming from the hinges? Thank you for your help,

The hinges are made of a flexible plastic.

My daughter has had an ACL replacement and is now suffering from pain due to what the doctors are calling runners knee, she plays soccer on her high school team and is very active
She would need something that would allow her to run but still offer some support
Is this the correct brace for that??
Thanks,
Don

Yes, the reaction brace would be good for that condition. If she ends up thinking it's too much brace, you can try the Donjoy Cross Strap as well.

My measurement is 18-18.5" at 6" above mid-patella. Do I go high or low for a better fit?

Go with the M/L size.

My Son suffers from patella tendinitis and Osgood-Schlatter disease would this brace be a good one for him to wear during his high school football games as a linemen?
Question by: Anthony on Jul 23, 2011, 8:39 AM
Yes, this is a good brace for him to where for both of those knee conditions. It will help with the discomfort he gets, as well as still be functional enough for him to still move around in.

Hello,
I have a pcl injury. This product look like it wuould aid in bringing the shinbones forward and take pressure off my pcl, while providing some protection to the front of my knee to prevent further injury. Is that the case?
I play semi contact sports so I cannot use the ligament braces because they may injure other players.
Thanks.

No the Donjoy Reaction Knee Brace is designed for Patellofemoral injuries not for PCL injuries. Actually the Armor would be the best Off the Shelf PCL brace for contact sports, you may use a sports cover to protect your teammates/opponents.

i will be playing college football for the next 4 years. and i was just wondering about the overall durability of the DonJoy Reaction Knee Brace for practice and weightlifting use; how long would it last?
Question by: leonard on Jul 26, 2011, 11:42 AM
There is a 6 month warranty and that is how long we verify that the product will work.
Answer by: Admin on Jul 26, 2011, 11:42 AM
I note that it isn't designed for PCL injuries, however at the web design at the front of the brace look like it would aid in pulling the shinbones forward while reducing the force of knocks to the front of the knee.
Question by: Jaz on Jul 26, 2011, 5:34 PM
The main benefit of the Donjoy Reaction knee brace is the relief at the knee cap and patellofemoral stress reduction, not PCL stability.

My daughter dislocated her patella playing volleyball. The ortho has recommended this brace. The players usually wear their kneepads just below the patella to help them slide when hitting the floor. The webbing on the front looks like it would prevent sliding, and maybe cause more injury? Would she be able to wear a kneepad over the brace? What's the best fix for volleyball?
Question by: Mom on Aug 10, 2011, 10:05 AM
Yes, I would advice her to wear a pad over the webbing. The webbing will prevent her from sliding. Another good brace for dislocations is our Tru-Pull Lite.

I am now wearing the <a href="https://www.donjoystore.com/'donjoy-oa-adjuster-3-knee-brace'">OA Adjuster brace</a>, and have been for two years. I have osteoarthritic in my right knee. Will the progressive pain relief brace help me better with the pain I am still having when I move around.
Question by: Cindy on Aug 10, 2011, 1:44 PM
If you are still having pain and are already in an offloader this may not give the most relief for you. It may help some with the shock absorption, but will not offload any area.
