DonJoy Braces For ACL Injuries
Understanding ACL Injuries and the Role of Bracing
An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common and potentially serious knee injuries, often occurring during sports that involve sudden stops, pivots, or changes in direction. ACL injuries can range from mild sprains to complete tears, each requiring specialized bracing and support.
While surgical intervention and physical therapy are often part of the recovery process, bracing can play a vital role in stabilizing the knee, improving mobility, and preventing further irritation or re-injury during rehabilitation and return to activity.
DonJoy offers a range of braces tailored to different levels of ACL injury severity, from mild sprains to post-operative support.
DonJoy offers a full range of high-performance braces and supports designed to aid the recovery of an ACL injury.

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
“I have had two very different knee injuries (ACL+meniscus tears on one leg and PCL+LCL+meniscus partial tears on the other) sustained playing soccer. These knee braces provide the support and stability I need to be confident continuing to play. I am going to order a second set as the originals have seen plenty of wear and tear from playing over the past two years…” – Gavin

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
“I was looking for a brace for partially torn ACL. Bought one with some doubt but came out the perfect choice. I play outdoor and indoor sports at competitive level and needed a brace which can protect my knee. This one does not slide down and adjustment needed only every 15-30 minutes since I don't want straps to be very tight. Excellent choice.”

Choosing the Right Brace for ACL Injuries
When selecting a brace for ACL support, consider:
- Injury Severity: Mild sprains may benefit from compression sleeves; moderate injuries often require hinged support; severe or post-operative cases need maximum stability.
- Activity Level: Choose breathable, flexible options for light activity; hinged braces for increased support for back to sport or rehabilitation.
- Fit and Comfort: Look for adjustable straps, anti-migration features, and materials that suit your lifestyle.
- Recovery Stage: Early recovery may require immobilization and cold therapy; later stages benefit from dynamic support and mobility.
