bestlife Hinged Knee Brace ROM Post OP Knee Immobilizer Brace Leg Braces Orthopedic Patella Knee Brace Knee Immobilizer Brace Support Orthosis, Adjustable for Left Leg and Right Leg(D002-1)

I'm currently in the weight bearing stage, post op (plates, screws, and pins) for a broken patella, tibia, fibula, and torn meniscus.Comfortable, durable, and well-made. Very stable, stays in place through out the day and night. Fits all legs. My brace from the surgeon was an XL, this brace fits comfortably with room to spare on the straps. Adjustable extention, flexion, custom height above and below the knee. Sturdy. Thick straps fit comfortably, with velcro for easy placement. Generous padding with velcro backing, can be repositioned easily to fit needs. Can be worn comfortably while lying down. Would make a very comfortable post op immobilizer also.My leg healed at an odd angle. Making it very difficult to walk. With the brace on I can walk bearing weight, while using my walker. With out the brace my leg would immedialty give out and bend. Brace works perfectly to fit my needs. A+

Current injury:Severely dislocated kneeFractured kneecapTorn patellar ligamentSeverely damaged cartilageThis is a fantastic device. They immobilizer they gave me in the ER was terrible and broke on day 3. I got this to user as immobilizer now and a post-op stabilizer after surgery. I'm still awaiting surgery, but this thing has been a life saver as an immobilizer. The adjustments are easy, but it takes a bit to figure it out. The directions are useless. It's surprisingly comfortable. I am able to sleep with it on. I was able to sleep thru the night without any pain. It also help redirect a significant amount of weight around the knee and supports it against the thigh and calf for those inevitable moments when your crutch slips.I do have one problem with the device and that is how the pads are attached. The little Velcro dots that hold them on don't work very well. They become detached from the frame to easily and they don't have enough surface area to hold the pads in the right place. They move around when adjusting the brace. Your just have to take a bit extra care when adjusting, but it's a bit annoying.

Very poor quality! Only after a week wear the brace a few of the pads fall off!

This brace works better than the one issued by the hospital, but is not as easy to use as we had hoped. Hubby had nerve damage following leg surgery and his knee buckles. When walking (with a walker) his leg needs to be straight. When sitting of course it is more comfortable to be bent. This brace does this but it's quite a process to lock and unlock from various positions. In order to lock and unlock it his leg has to be absolutely straight. So here we are in a restaurant with my kneeling on the floor as we straighten his leg to lock it back in walking position. I had hoped it would be easier to use so he could be more independent and not rely on someone to help him with it. The instructions that come with the brace are worthless. His physical therapist had to play with it to figure it out. Maybe there is a trick we are just unaware of. I expect we will eventually replace it with something better. It does it's job, but is not as easy to use as we had hoped.

The knee brace was ordered and is easy to use, very comfortable except for the holder around the neck, it could have a kind of cushion or something because it scrapes and leave mark. But in general it’s very helpful, doesn’t bordered my leg or knee skin, it gives a great support. I recommend it.

If you have to use one of this go for it. Good construction, quality material and easy to wear. Overall good quality product in terms of confort and stability.

Very uncomfortable and Velcro straps are cumbersome to use . Hard to keep it in place .

I tore my quadriceps completly thru a couple of time 2 long a story for here but i have other braces from the hospital which provided much more stability but were not as comfortable. I purchased this because the velcro tabs on the hospital braces wore out and i couldn't find where to buy replacement tabs. Now this brace doesnt use tabs to hold the straps because the last 6 to 8 inches of each strap has the velcro end that sticks to the base peice so i anticipate this brace lasting a lot longer.. the biggest difference between this brace and other higher stability braces is the others have a molded hevy duty plastic piece that the straps are woven thru is contored to help hug your leg and that is what gives the best stability this brace doesn't have that. So far though it has sered me adequately.
