McDavid Knee Brace, Maximum Support with Polycentric Hinges & Cross Straps, Comfortable Compression & Extra Stability

I had a ACL reconstruction about 4 months ago. I didn't need the post op brace after 2 months. Now, I am trying to get back to sport very slowly, but I am also very uncertain about how stable is my knee. Put this knee brace on at the night I received it, very tight, but very comfortable. I do feel great support of my knee. Of course, I am not trying to play at a competitive level, but definitely gives me confidence. I measured my knee around the knee cap, and it is 12.75", so I ordered a small (12-14in). It took me 4-5 pulls to pull it up and fit in place, but I had trouble taking it off. I think it has to be tight to give you the support. So, I rather to have it tight then lose. Once again, it is very comfortable once you have it on.

Way too small

I have a bad knee from an old ski injury but also play roller derby so it was getting aggravated occasionally while playing. I ordered this knee brace and it hasn't bothered me since. Recently I twisted my other leg funny and hurt my left knee, without hesitation I ordered another brace to wear. So now I wear one on either leg and my knees stay strong and healthy and feel great!

This brace is really tight around the knee and causes circulation issues causing the knee to swell even more. It does support but it’s painful to wear and if we hadn’t already tossed the box, I’d return it.

I followed the size chart to measure and order the correct size. The small that I measured for was too small and way too tight when I tried it on. I ended up going to Sports Authority to get a very similar brace, also by McDavid, and returned this product to Amazon...only because I was on a time crunch. If I wasn't on a time crunch, I still would have returned this, and ordered the next size up.

I had the older model for almost ten years and it help up fantastically. The new style looks really nice and feels really sturdy and I would expect it will last for a long time. A great investment for people who are really athletic, as I use it almost every day and have been able to machine-wash it, etc.

When I am hiking, I love this brace. I can four to five times longer without knee pain. For that, it is wonderful. Then I return home and try to take the dang thing off. My knee is at the bottom end of the range for the size I bought, but my calf is right in the middle. I can barely get the brace off. It takes several minutes and lots of attempts. I suppose a loose brace wouldn't work well, but this is borderline ridiculous. I also tend to get rubs behind the knee because the brace is neoprene with no gussets so there is lots of material and lots of sweating involved. Still, this brace is much more supportive than the brace I used to have with metal stays on the side, so I will continue to use it.

This is a great general knee support. It is easy to slide up the leg with the side tabs, and fairly easy to remove. The suppost gives great stability. Would recommend this support tried first before purchasing a more expensive support for general knee problems.

Buena compresión y material, las bisagras truenan un poco y eso confunde un poco si es la sensación de la Bisagra o la rodilla

this is a totally brilliant brace. its my 4th attempt to get a brace that I feel totally secure in playing top level netball and skiing and this is IT!!!

Well made knee support for mild injuries Good quality Recommend for short term use Helps provide support for stairs and walking. I recommend wearing something under the braces to protect the skin. Price is reasonable for the product quality

Too bulky; material wasnt comfortable

Way too small to fit me but well made product although bulkier than expected
