What are the pros AND cons of a closed and open pop? I've not had much experience either way - so how do I choose?
Question by: mickey on May 12, 2010, 6:46 PM
The popliteal is the area in the back of the knee where your knee bends. When a knee brace has an opening it is described as an "Open Popliteal" knee brace. An open popliteal knee brace is tends to be more comfortable than other knee braces that are closed in the back. There is less pinching of the material when your knee is bent. They are also a bit cooler as more skin is exposed. Some people prefer a closed popliteal knee brace because they have a bit more compression and are bit more restrictive offering a bit more support.

Can the DonJoy Tru-Pull Advanced knee brace be washed or laundered?
Question by: Patty on Sep 28, 2010, 4:37 PM
We recommend washing by hand in cool water with a mild soap and lay flat to dry. Do not put in the washer.

I would like to order one Donjoy Tru-Pull Advanced System for my daughter.
Her size is medium but I am confused about the Style
Her Patella normally slides to left so I believe 'Lt Closed Pop' would be the style.
But I don't know the difference between with and without Hinge option.
Waiting for your opinion and suggestion.
Thanks

Hello Sanjib,
The Hinges will add stability to the knee as well as assist in controlling the patella motion.
If you are concerned about instability, choose the style with hinges.

I have had dislocations of both knees about 4 times each, all from playing sports. When my patella dislocates it stays out until I or a doctor put it back in place.
This season I will be snowboarding and would like to upgrade my current knee brace to a DonJoy Tru-Pull Advanced System or similar. Do you recommend this brace and if so what is "closed pop/ open pop" also "Lt/Rt", and hinge vs. no hinge? I really want to choose the best option for my left knee. Thank you in advance.

Hello Justin,
The open pop would be an opening behind the knee, and closed would have no opening behind the knee, and if you need extra stability in your knee you would choose hinges, otherwise go with the sleeve.
LT and RT are left and right leg braces.
If you already use a rigid DonJoy brace ( EX: DonJoy Armor Knee Brace) for protection, you can simply buy the DonJoy Tru-Pull Advanced Attachment and add it onto the brace.

I was looking at the true pull advanced brace, and I was wondering where I need the hiinges. I have purchased a donjoy brace vefore that had hinges in it, but I dont remember what we put down when we bought it. I have PFD in my left knee, so I need a hinge for what side of the knee? Left or right?
Question by: Haylee on Nov 19, 2010, 11:02 AM
Hello Haylee,
The Tru Pull Advanced has hinges on both sides. You'll just need to indicate right or left leg.

I am looking at the DonJoy True-Pull brace for my son. He is 14 and very athletic. He has been wrestling competively since he was 6. He has had several patellar dislocations and I need to decide if this is the most appropriate brace for this type of competition. I realize that the hinges provide additional support, however he can not have "metal" hinges; can you describe the hinges? Also, can you order with a closed buttress over the knee cap? Any suggestions are truely appreciated.

The DonJoy Tru-Pull Advanced System can be ordered without hinges as an option, however the patella opening is standard on all DonJoy Tru-Pull Advanced Systems.

I play basketball and have had dislocations on both patellas..is this the best brace for making sure this doesnt happen again? my knees are strong again but i just need the extra support...or is there another brace you could recommend
Question by: Beau on Jun 5, 2011, 10:41 PM
The Tru-pull Advanced System is a great choice. It is the brace I would recommend for your patellas. This brace is going to give you the support and protection for your knees while allowing you to be functional and active.

Hi, my so has had a patella dislocation on his left knee. I have read the questions above and understand more. His knee dislocates to the left during golf, so I assume the left leg brace will pull (hold the knee) to the right? Please confirm.
Question by: Rick on Oct 16, 2011, 5:32 PM
Hi Rick,
Yes, if your son's knee dislocates to the left you would order the left leg brace.
If you have additional questions please call, 1-800-553-6019
Have a nice day.

My son is 16 and <a href="{{store direct_url='baseball-and-softball'}}">baseball</a> pitcher. He has a dislocated patella with mpfl tear. he is in rehab know. When he is ready to start pitching again will this be a good brace from him. He has also had a miniscus tear with a acl strech injury about 6 months ago.
Question by: ALAN on Feb 16, 2012, 9:27 AM
For his condition and athletic activity we would recommend the TruPull Lite, Reaction or a Rigid Knee Ligament brace with the Tru Pull Advanced Attachment also known as the TPAA.

hi, i dislocated my kneecap <a href="{{store direct_url='surfing'}}">surfing</a>. I am going to do the PT and training to get additional strength in my supporting muscles but for a while i want to try using a brace to be safe. Will this brace work well for surfing? can i use in salt water and just hand wash after? i looked at the recommended braces for surfing and they seemed pretty weak...thanks for your time!
Question by: chase on Apr 8, 2012, 9:23 AM
Hi Chase,
The DonJoy Tru-Pull Advanced System or the DonJoy Tru-Pull Lite are appropriate for your injury and can be worn while surfing. The Tru-Pull Lite is a lower profile brace. If you do wear the products in the ocean make sure to rinse them with fresh water after every use and air dry.
