Review on DonJoy Performance Bionic Fullstop Knee Brace - 4-Point Leverage Hinged Support for ACL Ligament Protection, Injury Prevention, Hyperextension Prevention in Football, Soccer, Lacrosse, and Contact Sports by Marcus Rash

Gets you back in action for a fee.

Works much better than my previous brace I used to travel long distances but the price and build quality leave something to be desired. While health insurance costs a fortune, this option is exactly the same: It's just a piece of athletic fabric haphazardly sewn together with a pair of strong but generic loops. For $250 I expected the product to hold together, but in everyday situations the stitching has started to fray and the gasket behind the hinges has come loose, forcing me to buy new aftermarket condyles. I also found that I had to glue the aluminum covers back onto the hinges. Not all elastics can be removed, so when washing, the Velcro can remain attached to other parts of the body or other clothing. While I'm happy with the performance I can walk again but man that price is something else. Unfortunately, you will be scalped either in the doctor's office or with a workable alternative. I can move again with the damaged ACL, that's all.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
