I hurt my knee in a rodeo several years ago. I was told I had damage to the cartilage on the end of my femur and a partial tear of my acl. Would this brace work well for playing tennis and running? Thanks

For cartilage damage and an ACl tear I would suggest a different brace. The Tru-Pull Wrap is for kneecap instability. I would suggest a hinged knee brace such as the Playmaker II https://www.donjoystore.com/donjoy-playmaker-ii-knee-brace-2 The Playmaker is going to give support with the cutting of a sport such as tennis and protect the ligaments such as the ACL

I have EDS Hypermobility, and my knees bend backwards a good 20-30 degrees. I play tenor saxophone in a college marching band. We frequently use a very rapid, aggressive high-knee marching technique and the instability in my knees make this dangerous and painful. I have not had any major ligament injuries yet but I would like to avoid one. Would this be a good brace to consider? If not, what would you recommend?

If your knees hyperextend the Tru-Pull will not prevent that. You would need a hinged knee brace that will restrict motion. We do have one soft brace that has this capability. The DonJoy Playmaker has an adjustable hinge and etension stops can be installed on the hinge to limit extension. The stops could possibly help that hyperextension that you are getting. https://www.donjoystore.com/donjoy-playmaker-ii-knee-brace-2

I have a partially torn patella tendon (through the middle of the tendon) and there is quite a bit of pain and discomfort when I walk. Would this brace help alleviate some of the pain? Also, I am not allowed to run yet, but would this be a good brace for when I can run?

The Tru Pull is mainly for patella dislocations. I would suggest either the Reaction Web Knee Brace or the Performer knee Brace. Both of these braces will give more support around the patella helping to decrease anterior knee pain. The Reaction Will be the cooler brace of the two. https://www.donjoystore.com/donjoy-reaction-knee-brace

I have the tru pull lite right now as given to me by my therapist and my biggest problem is that I cannot wear it over jeans etc during my day to day activities and I often experience pain just from sitting too long etc. It does work pretty well when I do taekwondo aside from the bit of loosening that I have felt recently and the fact that it sometimes shifts. I have two questions, first would the tru pull wraparound be good for me to wear to manage my daily pain/wearable over my jeans? And would the tru pull advanced be better for me when I do taekwondo since it offers more support? My main concern is that it will hinder my mobility as it is longer and has metal hinges rather than plastic.

these braces cannot be worn over jeans they are to worn against the skin or are not effective. The Tru Pull Advanced system will offer more support to the knee cap than the lite but will be a little more cumbersome
