- I'm looking for a stable knee brace for water sports, is this the product for me?
- you can wear this brace in the water but it is neoprene so it will eventually collect water and get heavy. Either a rigid nee brace would work depending on what your knee problem is or the DonJoy Reaction might work better since it is made of a rubber type of material and mesh in the back

- not ready to invest in the 500+ models and too bulky. Is this brace good for mild stability during football with no preexisting injuries other than knees just being "sore" after long practices and games.
- Thank you for your question. This brace has hinges which would give some support to your ligaments as well as a buttress to support the patella. It will provide you with some warmth and compression as well which could help cut down on your soreness. This brace sounds like it would be a good option for you.

- With my measurements the small brace was suggested via your website. I just received it in the mail and it fits good but feels tight behind the knee when my knee is bent. Is that normal or should I have the next size up.
- Jason
Unfortunatly this can happen because of the fabric behind the knee, somtimes because of the thickness of the neoprene it gathers in that area. So to answer you question it is normal, but if it is uncomfortable you do have 90 days to retun the brace and exchange for something that has a popliteal opening behind the knee.

- My son has had severe patella dislocation 3x during competitive hockey along with mcl strain. We are looking for a low profile patella stabilizer along with rigid mcl support preferably with dual hinges.
Please advise.
- JB,
I would suggest the DonJoy Tru-Pull Advanced System with Hinges. It is our maximum patella support and gives a great pull on the patella to give that needed support. For even more support, we also have a Tru-Pull Advanced Attachment that can be fitted onto any of the DonJoy Rigid frame braces. This would not be as low profile of option, but I did just want to let you know it was another great support option.

- My 12 year old daughter is fighting osgood and tendinitis. She is a high level ODP hopeful. Is this a good brace to support her knee and allow her to play.
- Hello George,
Someone with Osgood-Schlatters likes the feel of compression on their knee. I recommend a knee sleeve with a horseshoe buttress to apply pressure on the Patella Tendon. The Donjoy Performer is a great choice, with or without hinge. The hinge is used for medial and lateral stability. You can also try a Patella Tendon Strap. These products in conjunction with physical therapy will assist with returning to play.
Thanks for Contacting Donjoy.

- Sometimes my knee dislocates when i run and the pain is excruciating. I'm planning to buy a knee brace but i have some questions. Does the knee brace prevents 100% knee cap dislocation? My right knee cap is the knee that always dislocates, but my left knee cap dislocated only once, so should i get it for both knees or just the right? I run a lot and i play soccer. Also which one is better for my situation DonJoy Lateral J Patella Knee Brace or DonJoy Performer Hinged Patella Knee Brace?
- Hello Cristian,
Please consult your Physician regarding your injury, they may assist you better. In the meantime I suggest wearing the Tru-Pull Lite during activity. We also has the Tru-Pull Advanced for additional support.

- What is the difference between this brace and the DonJoy Performer Patella Knee Support? Just the hinges?
Thanks - The hinges, which offer more stability for someone. Both are used for mild ligament sprains, strains, Osgood Schlatter or patellar instabilities, the hinges offer more stability in the knee.

- How do you wash this brace? Can you remove the hinges?
Is this brace good for 1 month post ACL surgery? I pretty much believe that I need the most comfortable knee brace with hinges. - Handwash with mild detergent and air dry. This product is recommended for patella issues not for an ACL injury. For that I would go to the Knee Ligament section, such as the Armor, Fullforce, 4titude, or Legend.

- The hinge are digs into my thigh, but otherwise the brace fits. Can I bend the end of the hinge without breaking it?
- If the uprights are digging in at your thigh and fitting correctly everywhere else, you can take the upright and pull it slightly out at that thigh portion to see if that relieves some of the pressure of the upright. If that does not work, the brace maybe too small and you may need to look at going up to the next size.
