DonJoyTru-Pull Lite Knee Support Brace: Right Leg, Medium

I use this as preventative support for my knee so it doesn't get sore when I play golf. It provides good support and flexibility. I just purchased a large instead of X-large because after the X-large lost a little elasticity it would slide down a bit so I would have to keep tightening it. The Large is a little snug but I keep stretching it and bending the plastic hinge brace to make it more comfortable until it stretches a little more. I am pretty sure it will work out. I've been wearing this brace for years now.

This brace is a little on the small side, my thigh measures at 24 inches so I went with the XL. It fits well through the knee, but is a little tight in the banding at the top and bottom. I received it today and wore it to a Zumba class tonight, it was amazing. The support is strong and I was able to move so much better. *History* I decided to purchase this knee brace as my patella dislocated 7 months ago. After an hour of wearing it, I hardly noticed it on, the fit felt better and it was very comfortable during my class. I'm really happy with this purchase!

Bought this expecting that “eligible for refund or replacement” in the listing meant just that. But no, after cycling through the Amazon online return process and also Customer Service telephone bot process I learned it is only returnable if defective. All I wanted was a bigger size! Thigh and knee is OK, but calf is too tight and very uncomfortable to walk in. Took the hinges out, but didn’t help. So beware of 3rd party seller policies on Amazon. If I had bought it directly from DonJoy, I might be able to return it, at least that is what I understand from their website, but that’s what I thought on Amazon too, and that’s not true. Fed up with misleading info on Amazon and no one to talk to about my loss of $115 on an unusable product!

This is the best brace that we found for our son after his knee patella displacement injury playing basketball. Since his injury about 2 years ago, we have tried different knee braces as a prevention device for our son who is very active in basketball and baseball. This is no question the best brace we have tried. With other braces, his knee has been 'tweeked' from time to time. Since finding this brace a year ago, no patella tweeks or issues have reoccurred. Our son trusts this brace, and has long since regained his confidence to play full-speed in his sports. When adjusted properly (takes a few times), this brace is non-obstructive to the required range-of-motion to play full-speed.This brace is high-quality construction and lasts very well. In our experience, the average life with heavy (daily, sweaty) use is about 3-4 months before the velcro attachments become weak. Under this condition, the velcro attachments can be reinforced with athletic tape to extend the life of the brace. Other braces we have tried only provided about 1 month of useful life with heavy use. After a year of using this brace exclusively, we are going on our 3rd brace. However, it is the best solution we have found as a relatively cheap 'insurance' policy to prevent another patella displacement injury during active sports. Highly recommended.

Sizing was off…

I bought this for my 15 year old daughter who runs cross country and was diagnosed with Patellafemoral pain syndrome. She’s 5’5” and weighs about 100 lbs. The XS was too tight and ended up ordering the small which fit perfectly. She ran a race with the brace and said it felt fine, with the exception to that it rubbed against the opposite knee while running. The brace seems to be working, but was told by a PT that she shouldn’t wear it too much and work on strengthening the muscles that support the knee. We would recommend this brace. Some reviews stated that the Velcro stops working not too long after using it. So far, it’s still good; however, she’s only been using the brace for 2 weeks. Fingers crossed that it lasts since it was pretty pricey compared to other knee braces.

This is my second time buying this exact, same knee brace. The first one was purchased at a medical office 10+ years ago. It was double the price at the medical office, not covered by insurance. They measured my leg, which I was able to do myself and select the correct size from the chart. I have no ACL, which makes my knee unstable. I use this brace for skiing. It fits well and is comfortable. However, the brace does not take the place of exercising to keep the supporting muscle strong.

I measured according to instructions, however, the brace was too tight and pinched, I am ordering the next size up with high hopes! Love the concept of the design!
