Review on DonJoy Lateral J Patella Knee Support Brace: Drytex, Left Leg, Small - Effective Hinge for Optimal Relief by Patrick Matin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great brace but you may want to protect the other leg.

About a year ago I dislocated my kneecap and partially tore my meniscus. I got this brace because after I started running again about 5 months ago I had another knee dislocation 4 months later and I think it was another but not as severe subluxation. With this orthosis, I was able to feel more secure when walking and partially forgot about the renewed subluxation of the patella. This provides excellent support and comfort. The only negative thing about this bandage is the fact that it has a seam that runs straight down the back so it can be a bit itchy after a workout. The velcro also tends to rub on the inside of my other knee, so I wear a plain spandex sleeve on my other knee for added comfort. I would recommend wearing this sleeve on the other leg when running if your knees tend to fall inwards like mine because the velcro on the braces even rubbed a lot of the seams on my running tights and made them fuzzy and untied the threads Has. . Otherwise, these braces are great and I would order another one if something happened to the first one.

Pros
  • Knee pads
Cons
  • Big and chunky
