Just had acl reconstruction 5 months ago...does anyone kno of an excellent brace to protect my knee??


im a very active guy so i need a great brace that i can wear while playin sports...i need one that i can comfortably run around in and jump and play as hard as before i tore my acl...do u know of a specific brace that i should get? thanks for your help in advance...its greatly appreciated

I have some great onces but I can't remember the name :( They have two straps on them and a ridge on the side to keep my patella stabilized (I had MCL reconstruction on both knees due to frequent disolocations). Both my braces are non-neoprene, because I have a neoprene/latex allergy so you really have to see specically what types work better for you.

if your doc didnt make one or recommend one for you try the ace braces that are in the stores with the whole in the middle of the knee cap
