McDavid Hinged Knee Brace for Men and Women, Knee Brace with Side Stabilizers, Knee Compression Sleeves and Stability Straps for ACL, LCL, Arthritis, Tendonitis, MCL, Patella, Left and Right

Does a great job of supporting my osteoarthritis knee during sports like pickleball. High quality and good fit. Maybe just a bit snug so I would order one size up from recommended

I am pleased to say that I’ve been wearing one of these on each knee every day for the past three years and they are still keeping me going. I am 6’-2” tall and weigh 297lbs and I have had surgeries on both knees for meniscus tears, ACL tears, broken bone/cartilage removal (loose bodies), and arthritis. I could not function or do my job without wearing these everyday. One Velcro strap is losing its hold, but I wrap it with electrical tape to keep it in place. The design, quality, and longevity of these braces is astonishing. It relieves my pain and allows me to climb ladders and scaffolding to do my job. One amazing design feature is they stay put all day long. They have never slid down my leg, regardless of my activity. Running, cycling, crawling, it doesn’t matter- these braces stay in place. One of the best investments to improve my mobility that I’ve ever made and at a great price point.

I sprained my knee a few months ago so the inner side of the knee and the tendon beneath the kneecap would hurt when i tried to bend down or carried too much weight while walking. It still pains me a little now and i was starting a new job in construction so i bought this hoping it would help. I had bought a knee brace before without hinges and it didn't help at all and actually made the tendon under the kneecap hurt more when bending so i decided to get this because of the metal hinges and extra straps. It removed most of the pain from the inner side of the knee and i could bend further down without the other tendon hurting, if i bent too low it would hurt though. Only one time did the hinge dig into my calf and that was when i was using it on the treadmill but it wasn't unbearable. I find that on one side the pocket where the hinge is in is maybe 1/8th of and inch too long and would cause that problem when the bottom edge of the brace rolled up slightly but wearing longer socks or pulling it down fixed this problem. I never had this problem when walking or bending only running. Also the box it came with said it's only supposed to be used for 2-4 hours. I've used it for 8-10 hours and it still works but it will stretch a lot more because of that. It might provide slightly less protection but still worth using and better than the other brace. If you sit down and have your knee bent at or past 90 degrees for a few hours it will start to pinch in the back. Overall it has done the job for the past month. It's not a full metal or high end brace for athletes so you can still get injured while using it if you try doing stuff that puts a lot of pressure on the knee.

I've been wearing this brace for about 3 months now, and am very satisfied. Yes, it's a little pricey but it is very sturdy and does the job. I feel like I got good value for my money.It fits very snugly. That means I don't wear it all day, it gets hot and sweaty underneath and I have to take it off. So I use it when I go out to do yardwork, or go for a walk or hiking, etc. I take it off when I'm just around the house.Take the metal stays out, throw it in the laundry with other clothes, then air-dry it and it is good to go.I like that it has multiple straps on the top and the bottom. I feel that it securely locks to my leg above and below the knee.The first one I got was too snug, I had to return it and get the next larger size. That one also feels snug, but I feel that snug-ivity gives me the support I need.The instructions are laughable. It is fairly self-evident how to adjust the straps, but if you try to follow the instructions, it is like they were written in reverse. So just chuck those instructions.But the rest of the brace is high quality, if you want secure support then this is the brace for you.

This is such a great invention. They help my knees so much.

We measured and measured and measured ... Then went on the high end of the recommended fit.Too small. Size chart is just plain wrong.Other than that, it seems to be a quality product.

Great support, comfortable and easy to clean. Side supports are strong, well padded and hinged well.

Worked very well for my son's busted knee cap
