Description of DonJoy Neoprene Lateral J Patella Knee Support Brace Without Hinge - Right Leg, Small

Intended for those suffering from lateral patellofemoral knee pain; Ideal for day-to-day activities and while playing sports; both in and out of the water. Choose the knee brace to best suit your needs, between Drytex and neoprene; and with or without aluminum hinges for added stability.

Neoprene is a thicker, wetsuit-like material that provides a warmer option. Universal design allows the DonJoy Lateral J Patella Knee Brace to be used by both men and women. Fit tip-take the measurement of your thigh and calf 6 inch above and below your kneecap using a flexible type tape measure. Use the diameter you measure here.

Very good leg and foot rest support

Very good support when walking but too stiff to run (reminding me not to run until my knee gets better!). I wear pantyhose under a corset so the seams don't rub against the skin.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Damaged

Helps with pain good for leg and foot braces

Helped with my pain but it started to fall apart on sight and I haven't had it for more than a few months. I wear it 4-5 times a week for 1-2 hours during my workout.

Pros
  • Trial for one year
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Too big for an average woman

The calf wrap potion is too big. Is someone's calf really as big as their thigh? I need a child size I think. It wraps around almost all sides so it doesn't support well and slides down, even with a small silicone ridge on top (which rubs off easily, leaving fragments all over the house).

Pros
  • Lasting finish
Cons
  • There are problems

Some quality issues:

I had a DonJoy Lateral J (right knee, size S) that my doctor gave me a few years ago and it has held up to all activity very well. After about 8 years it needed replacing so I bought a replacement from Revain (Better Braces) thinking I'd have the same luck. Unfortunately either the quality of the product has dropped or they are counterfeits as the replacement bracket I bought lasted less than 1 year before the side rails punctured the guides and the socket surrounding the knee split and split…

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Flaws
