I'm coming off a non surgical ankle fracture and I am looking for a brace for regular/athletic activity - baseball/basketball/hiking/hunting. Also, what size would be best for a mens size 10 shoe?
Question by: Trey on May 29, 2013, 12:14 PM
The Donjoy Pro Ankle brace is similar to having your ankle taped. It slides on like a sock, laces up and has 2 stirrups to prevent inversion/eversion. It's appropriate if your Physician has cleared you to return to athletic activities. If you would like a more rigid brace I recommend the Velocity. As far as sizing, measure from the base of your heel to the top of your ankle, then look at size chart: https://www.donjoystore.com/donjoy-velocity-ankle-brace

What circumference measurements are associated with the various sizes (S,M,L, etc.)? Thanks.
Question by: Doug on Aug 30, 2013, 10:14 AM
The circumference of the heel up around the front of the leg where you have the crease where the ankle bends.

Had a fx tibia where it attaches to ankle. Plate and several pins installed. What brace would be most comfortable and secure to wear in a ski boot.
Please advise, thank you.
Please advise, thank you.

The Stabilizing Pro will offer you a great deal of support. The compression and strapping combined with the medial and lateral stays will give you compression and stability. If the stays are uncomfortable in the boot, they can be removed.

My daughter recently suffered an ankle injury in gymnastics after months of sporadic heel/ankle pain and ankle rolling. X-rays showed that she has a congenital anomaly called an accessory navicular bone in each foot which is causing excessive stretching of the tendons attached to this bone during athletic activities. Her orthopedic doctor has recommended that she utilize an ankle brace with arch support during athletic activities to lessen her pain and chance of injury. He recommended the Ossur GameDay ankle brace with stays. DJO Global is a network provider recommended by my insurance, so I am trying to determine which of the ankle braces that you offer would be best for this problem. My daughter does gymnastics as well as plays volleyball and basketball. Would you recommend the Donjoy Pro Ankle Support or would one of the Aircast models or ProCare Lace-Up be better options?? She has to have substantial arch support due to the positioning of that extra bone in addition to the ankle support. Thank you!

The Stabilizing Pro Ankle Brace is a very good ankle brace used to prevent ankle injuries. The arch support may be a little lacking unless you use the figure eight strap to pull up on her arch. Another option for you is the Aircast PTTD Airlift ankle brace: https://www.donjoystore.com/aircast-airlift-pttd-bracee This brace has both ankle support and a inflatable air pocket under the arch to give arch support. This brace might be a better choice for your daughter.

I am a bullfighter and recently suffered a severely dislocated ankle, torn ligament in ankle and a fracture in the back of the ankle. The dislocation required screws be put in to bring everything back together. Also sustained a fractured tibia just below my knee on the same leg. Was wanting to know if this brace would help me with stability once I am able to return to the arena?

With that type of injury to your ankle you may want to use a maximum supportive ankle brace. We would suggest the <a href="{{store direct_url='donjoy-velocity-ankle-brace'}}">Velocity Ankle Brace ES</a>.

i went to my doctor with a swelling ankle and tenderness/pain at my outside ankle bone, on my right foot. doctor said I have peroneal tendinopathy, and recommended that i get an ankle brace with figure 8 straps. i have so far tried three different kinds and they are one size fits most and I am not most. However, the ones that had some stays or rigid sides relived the tenderness at my ankle bone. I stand all day at work and most of my movement is lateral as i stand at a work table. I also have a flat arch and arthritis in the bones in the middle of my foot; where I do wear an ace bandage brace. Is there a brace you would recommend? My foot size is 13 wide and ankle circumference of 14"-15". Thank you in advance for your time and response.
Question by: Brian C. on Jun 13, 2014, 2:31 AM
The Stabilizing PRO sounds like it is exactly what your doctor is asking for. It has rigid piece on each side of your ankle and figure 8 strapping. The brace comes in various sizes, one of which should accommodate your ankle. The measurements for this brace are taken from the base of your heel, up to a 45 degree angle across the ankle bones, and over the top of the foot (where your shoe laces would tie). if you are 14"-15" and XL would be appropriate.

I have ankle tendinitis. What product do you recommend?
Question by: Jeannie hart on Jun 15, 2014, 4:41 PM
The DonJoy Stabilizing Pro will give you moderate support of the ankle and therefore decrease pain. If you have tendonitis of the posterior tibialis tendon then the Aircast airlift Ankle Brace would be best. https://www.donjoystore.com/aircast-airlift-pttd-brace This brace has a air bladder under the arch of the foot that can be inflated to lift up the arch taking pressure off that tendon.

I have a DonJoy stabilizing brace that I will soon start using. Do you have directions that would give information on how tight the brace should be to use it correctly. I was told very tight but when doing so I have deep indentations when I remove it. I did not know if you could have it firm but not tight and have it work appropriately. Thank you.
Question by: Liz on Jul 10, 2014, 7:27 PM
The fit should be snug, but comfortable. It will be somewhat of a personal preference, some people like it more snug than others. The brace should not shift around, yet it should not cause discomfort from being too tight.

Many years ago I had an injury to my ankle, torn/stretched ligaments. I constantly have the problem of lack of stability and my ankle turning. I use a lace up brace when working out and hiking-gives some support but not enough (still turns on me) We are fixing to do a mud run/obstacle 5k - will this work for me or what do you recommend?
Thanks
Thanks

This brace is a lace up ankle brace with two figure eight straps that should give you more stability than just the lace up brace.
