DonJoy Lateral J Patella Knee Brace with Hinge, Left Leg, Drytex, Large by DONJOY

My boyfriend unfortunately dislocated his knee for the second time at work and workers comp disnt get him the proper therapy and treatment needed for him to heal. This is the only thing along with walks that has made him feel safe to walk. He sleeps in it, work in it, washes it weekly and since he washes it with his work clothes he is on his third pair. But its worth buying it 100x it makes you feel secure and does the job

Lasts a long time. Very happy with the quality. I got a similar thing, same brand, through the insurance company, and that one tore the first time my daughter put it on. This one is so much better.

This is the 6th one my daughter has gone through. Ordered on June 12, today is July 15. She has worn this particular one about 8 times. They stretch out and don't stay up with just a few wears. The seams fall apart and the cross patellar velcro rips. I am getting frustrated with this. Her doctor prescribed this and we were paying huge through them for it so I looked and they had them on Amazon for much less. We have tried both the drydex and neoprene versions- neither one last for more than a couple months with sporadic wear.

It is support but the stitching is poor. I have used it less than a week and the hinge is already popping through the top.

My physical therapist suggested this brace for my medial meniscus tear. Wearing this protected my knee and allowed it to heal. Be sure to measure you knee as the instructions direct. In my opinion, the brace is better suited for a man’s leg. Women can have a different shape. The top was tight for me because I have some chubbiness around my thigh that my husband has never had at any weight. But I doubt there is a manufacturer that allows for that. Still - the brace made all the difference in my recovery.
