I am about 10 weeks after left total knee replacement surgery. My left knee wants to lean to the outside instead of going straight. ( Had my right knee done 3 years ago and it tracks just fine. )..Is this a weak muscle or is there a brace I can wear to help speed this recovery up.. What will make this right ?? More exercise ?? Which muscles ??

Thanks, Janet

you will have to check with your doctor on that to make for sure, but normally that can be the result of a quad muscle weakness. If it is your patella that is tracking off, you can do a brace to help with the patella tracking issues. If it is your entire knee that is leaning to the outside a different brace maybe needed. But again you should check with your doctor on what they recommend.

If i have dislocated my knee cap and i am in volleyball, i wanted to know if this would be good for my knee. I really need a knee brace but i cant find one. Would this be good?

Question by: Katie on Jul 21, 2011, 7:13 PM

This brace is a great tracking brace, but it is not the best for Dislocation patellas. I would suggest looking at either the Tru-pull Lite, or the Tru-pull Advanced system, either of these will be a better choice for you.

I've been diagnosed with patella femoral syndrom in my right knee. I enjoy running and being active, and I have been working on trying to build quadricep strength to improve it, but I still have pain some days. Would this help me to improve my knee stability even more by building the muscles or would it just support my knee and weaken the muscles? I obviously want to strengthen my knee so it can get better.

Thanks,
Jess

Question by: Jessica on Sep 29, 2011, 10:19 AM

Hi Jess,

Patella Femoral Syndrome can be caused by many thing in the body including muscle weakness, tightness, and/or biomechanics. Depening on the casue of your injury the S.E.R.F strap could help. It basically acks as a cue for you gluteal and hip muscles to fire when they are supposed to. It will not weaken the muscles you are trying to strengthen and can be a good tool to help with proper mechanic at your hip and knee while running and doing your strengthening exercises.

There are other braces that may help your knee pain. The DonJoy Tru-Pull Lite, for example is beneficial if you knee cap is not tracking as it should. This can also be a result of muscle weakness, which it sounds like you are working on. The buttress and straps help align the knee cap in a proper position and can help with decreasing pain.

Hello,

The S.E.R.F. Strap is suited for patients with patellofemoral or anterior knee pain resulting from excessive hip internal rotation, adduction, and/or knee valgus. The S.E.R.F. Strap can be used to control abnormal hip motion during leisure/sport activities and can be used as a training tool in the clinic.

Thank You for Contacting Donjoy.

My daughter has a possible labral tear in her hip joint. Would this strap give her relief from pain until she can get further medical care?

Question by: Sandy on Feb 2, 2014, 8:33 PM

The SERF strap will bring her hip into externa/outwardl rotation so if she has no pain in that motion it could help
