Orthomen ACL Knee Brace for Ligament Sports Injuries, Mild Osteoarthritis(OA) for Preventive Protection from MCL PCL Knee Joint Pain Degeneration, Fit Men & Women (Large, Right)

I’ve worn it for 2 months now as a server so I’m walking. A lot. All day. I tore some stuff in my knee and needed extra help but the little ones they give you weren’t doing the job. It’s easy to adjust. The silicone straps are nice but the impressions are terrible as always. Definitely buy a brace sock if you are wearing shorts. Some of the glue on the Velcro stickers for the padding peeled off but it’s not a big deal since it’s all strapped down and holds in place. If it’s that big of a deal go get double sided 3m gorilla tape and fix it for cheap. You will probably have to adjust it a few times to get it right. It will have to be adjusted on your leg a few times a day if you wear it all day since it will slip down from natural movement. The support is great. The pads for the kneecaps, definitely double or triple up and put them all together in the cap to get better support on the knee but easy enough to do. It’s lasted this long and it’s still going so it’s worth it in my book and if I wear this one out I’m definitely getting another. There is probably a better one somewhere that costs way more but this isn’t bad for the money.

Perfect fit, durable and very comfortable

Fits perfectly, it does tend to slip down after a while as I work in a shop I'm constantly up and down. But it does support my knee like I need it to. It was easy to figure out how to put it on. It's a good design but I have to put silicone lubricant on the hinges several times cause of the squeaking and roughness. Other than a few little things it does what I need it to do so I'd say it's worth the money.

Got this brace for my daughter after she had her ACL and Meniscus repaired after a Volleyball injury. She wears it when she practices for extra support. She loves the way it feels and how much support she has on the court.

The unit. while walking on a wet ramp did not fit well. Its movement caused a fall. Purchase a new brace and have less pain and better movement was restored. Delivery service was excellent (2 days).

Approximately 6 months ago I fell with full force on my knees, blowing out my MCL in both knees. They were sore but I didn’t give it a lot of thought. Over the next months my knees got progressively worse and I seemed to have less and less stability. Legs would twist at the knees accompanied by sharp pain. I read up on MCL injuries and found that I needed to rest and stabilize my knees with this kind of product recommended for non-surgical treatment. I had knee wraps that helped some but nothing as stable as these. The moment I put them on and stood up I knew they were what I needed. They give plenty of support without impeding my mobility. I’ve been wearing them daily ever since….I’m in my fourth months of healing and my legs are without pain and much more stable without the braces. I will continue to wear daily for the next 1 months as my knees continue to heal and afterwards whenever I’m expecting to be walking over uneven ground or doing activities that might stress my knees.

First of all this brace looks intimidating to try to put on....extra pieces with metal attaching 'bits' and an actual screwdriver comes with it. The instructions are a bit nebulous so it took me a long time to try it out. July 5th 2023 actually, and I'd purchased it on May 8th of this year. I thought it was going to take the help of another to get it on and adjusted properly the first time. I decided to give it a try by myself this morning. The size is wrong for me, which I knew was going to be a possibility since I am short and also had polio as an infant, so the left leg is lacking in size in the calf muscle. That small calf muscle is the reason most braces won't work, they simply slide down toward my ankle. My physical therapist thought that this one would work for me. However, the bottom most oval 'button' that holds the metal slide for the strap to go through fell off immediately. I thought it was going to be able to slip back into place, but it's not. There are two miniscule posts in plastic that hold that oval over the metal strap adjuster and they were completely broken off, so no way for me to fix the issue. I can't see how the manufacturer could have expected those tiny plastic posts to hold up under the need to tug and tighten/loosen those thick straps over and over again. So while the brace looks and is very substantial in all other aspects that I can see, that little piece is definitely a significant design flaw. Too late to return it and I would gladly turn it over to someone else that the brace would fit properly, but that's not a possibility now.

Good machine
