I had right medial meniscus surgery in 2013 and had no ill effects until recent minor pain. I am a very active 47 year old who still competes in lacrosse, adventure racing, etc. Would you recommend this brace for use during vigorous sports activity for pain relief?
Question by: Todd Brown on May 24, 2015, 10:41 AM
Yes the DonJoy Performance Webteck Knee brace would be recommended for these types of activities. It is designed to act as a shock absorber to help relieve the most common forms of knee pain.

I have had a right knee replacement. Starting to degenerate. Not ready for another surgery yet. Knee is hyper extending. Will this brace stop that from happening? If not, what would you suggest?
Question by: Pam McGrath on Jun 17, 2015, 12:06 PM
Hello Pam,
The DonJoy Performance Webtech Knee Brace is not suitable for hyper extension issues. We would suggest a hinged knee brace to prevent hyper extension. I would suggest the DonJoy Performance Bionic Knee Brace. The Bionic knee has medial and laterall polycentric hinges with hyper extension stops help to support knee instability.

My knee is measuring about 15.5 inches; that puts me right between sizes. Would it be better to get the medium or the large? I am looking for a knee brace to use during rigorous sports activities.
Question by: Rodger on Jun 23, 2015, 9:59 AM
Based on your measurement we would advise you go with the Large for the DonJoy Performance Webtech Knee Brace

I have Chondromalacia Patella issues, would this brace be suited to help with that or another maybe better?
Question by: nightmarequeen92 on Jun 23, 2015, 9:37 PM
Yes, the DonJoy Perdomance Webtech Knee Brace will provide relief for chondromalacia issues. It stabilizes the patella, applies compression around the knee, and helps absorb the shock and shift the loads from the painful area of the knee.

When hiking in the mountains where we live, my wife has terrible pain on outside and inside of knee when coming back down. She doesn't want to go in to the doctor, says it is just worn out knee (only 53). It seems more like the ligaments and tendon to me. I have similar trouble depending on the hike. Which brace would be best for her? Thanks!
Question by: Doug on Jun 25, 2015, 8:28 AM
Hello,
The DonJoy Performance Webtech Knee Brace will help stabilize the patella and keep it in a more neutral position, which could help with some of the pain she is having. However for more ligament support as well as patella support I would suggest the DonJoy Performance Bionic Knee Brace. They polycentric hinges will give ligament support for sprains and tears in the knee. Plus the brace has a wrap around design for easy on and off, as well as perforated neoprene for maximum breathability and comfort. Here is the link: https://www.donjoystore.com/bionic-knee-brace

I have been told I have patella tracking issues and have been looking thru descriptions and not finding much. Had a spider reaction, but orthopedic specialist wants something more structured. Please help
Question by: wlance03 on Jun 27, 2015, 5:20 AM
The DonJoy Performance Webtech Knee Brace is very similar to the Reaction Web, just a bit lower profile, and shorter. For better patella control and more stability and support I would suggest the DonJoy Performance Bionic Knee Brace. The Bionic Knee has a patella donut to stabilize the patella and help it track properly and it also has bilateral polycentric hinge to provide medial and lateral support of the ligaments, you can see the brace here: https://www.donjoystore.com/bionic-knee-brace

I have a medial meniscus tear in my right knee. Would you recommend this knee brace pre & post op? Still trail running & playing volleyball and will not received surgery until the end of the year.
Question by: Kris on Jun 29, 2015, 2:55 PM
Hello Kris,
We would suggest you consult with your physician regarding use for pre and post op. The Webtech Knee Brace is a patella stabilizer. For meniscus injuries I would suggest a brace with a hinge, like the DonJoy Deluxe Hinged Knee Brace. The hinges will provide support for the ligaments as well as for meniscus injuries. You can see it at the link below:

I have arthritis in my knee. My present brace rubs along the nerve running up the outside of my leg. Will this brace help with pain and not irritate the nerve?
Question by: brian on Jul 16, 2015, 11:22 AM
If you have early or light OA on the knee, I would recommend the DONJOY OA REACTION WEB knee brace. If you need mild to moderate support, I would recommend the DONJOY OA EVERYDAY OSTEOARTHRITIS KNEE BRACE. For moderate to severa arthritis, there is the DONJOY OA FULL FORCE or the DONJOY OA ADJUSTER 3.

Im an very avid skier i get around 50 days a season. I had a partial tear of my acl and pcl with a complete tear of mcl that was repaired in the spring of 2014. I skied all winter then in May of 2015 I completely tore my mcl again a few days after getting back from skiing in Oregon which was repairable. Would the Don Joy Performance Web reaction knee brace fit my needs. My knee surgeon says i dont need a brace but dont want another surgery.
Question by: Mat Kramer on Jul 16, 2015, 6:48 PM
Being an avid skier and not wanting another surgery, I would recommend the DONJOY ARMOR FOURCEPOINT KNEE BRACE in a SKI VERSION. That will give you that maximum protection of all the knee ligament instabilities, hyper-extension prevention and help prevent future injuries. It is still lightweight at 20 oz. The WEBTECH KNEE BRACE will give you the minimum support.
