Unloader Knee Brace for Medial Knee Pain, Osteoarthritis, Premium OA Knee Brace Support for Cartilage Defect Repair, Avascular Necrosis, Tibial Plateau Fracture Inside Left

I will be more than happy to submit a honest review of the brace as without it, I could not walk. When my son gave the brace to me, it was for the short term as I was scheduled for a knee replacement 6 months from when I received the brace. In the meantime, I tore the total rotator cuff of my left shoulder so the surgeon decided I had to have a reverse shoulder replacement before the knee replacement, so I had two arms after the knee surgery. That pushed the knee surgery back 6 months while my new shoulder healed. Before my shoulder surgery, I discovered I had rectal cancer. Another push back. I needed months of radiation and possible rectal surgery. Lucky the radiation got rid of the cancer so now I am moving forward with the shoulder surgery in February. Four to six months after the shoulder replacement, I will finally have the knee replacement surgery. Doing this entire episode my Orthomen OA Unloader Knee Brace has allowed me to stay mobile. With the brace, I have no knee pain from the bone-on-bone status of my knee. I am a very active 82-year-old so moving around is a must. With the brace, I have that freedom. Without it, I must use a roller and only for short walks. Believe me, this review is from the heart. Your product is a God sent. Thank you.

The good first Its a good brace. It offloads just enough to be effective. It also does not slip down like other brace much more expensive. Its light and should work a a decent amount of time Now for the bad. The pads slip around and have to add more velco to stop that. Could be more sturdy as it flexes more than it should. It would make a better brace. Lastly, I have seem much cheaper pricing elsewhere and clones that seem to be exactly the same. But overall, it does the job it claims and I am happy with it...

My right shin bone got dislocated to the outside edge of my knee. Cannot walk or put weight on right side. This brace is well made, easy to put on after I got use to doing it. Fair price. Recommend.

You'd think companies would take their time to build something that's worth a damn these days. First try and it's toast. I found it strange that the adjustment tool was such a tight fit into the screw and that it didn't really travel very deep into the screw's head but I got it in nice and snug. I found it strange that it was hard to turn but figured being it's moving something that kind of looks rugged maybe that's why. sufficed to say it's utterly useless now and I literally just five minutes ago unpacked it. I'm pretty good at fixing stuff but I doubt that there are replacement parts for this so it's a total and I do mean TOTAL waste. Put your money somewhere else. Not here! I put it on my dads leg and did the adjustment while he sat....Literally the first adjustment felt so hard to turn I was afraid I'd damage it and decided to back it off while he was standing up and the bloody screw's head rounded out? WHILE BACKING THE SCREW OUT... ie releasing pressure.... WOW! Would it kill a company to put a decent hardened steel screw into something like this? Like seriously what would it cost yall to put a proper hex screw in there that won't round out so easily?

I have a High Grade II torn MCL with 80% or so and grade I ACL tear. I was in a wheel chair or walker all week until this came in. I literally could walk with almost a normal gate with this immediately. AMAZING! I have had this injury even worse many years ago and I've used full leg immobilizers, crutches, I have a neoprene sleeves, wraps, and a knee brace with metal stays to stop twisting or lateral motion, THIS PRODUCT hands down beats them all. This was worth every penny and more. The product: Tt's hella light, padded on every strap, the straps (thick and relatively soft for being sturdy and very adjustable), the hinge is robust and geared and has range of motion stops that are simple to install with the provided hardware. It keeps your knee open to breath or wrap for patella stabilization, and the hinge adjust angle for medial vs lateral pressure and to adjust pressure placement on the knee. Also the strap pads are rubberized to prevent slipping and it really helps reduce load on the knee OMG what a relief! It really makes a huge difference and has already (in a matter of days) lead to gains in recovery just by knowing I'm protected I've pushed harder and used increased range of motion. BUY IT NOW, so cheap for someone with a knee injury it's a no brainer NOTE about 4 stars: I rated it 4 stars in Pain and Comfort, BUT realize it can only do so much as I have a serious injury there will still be some occasional pain (nothing outside of drugs can change that....hard pass). For comfort; it's as comfortable as a robust brace can be...it can't offer the relief without being tight and restrictive to a degree. I've worn many braces and honestly this thing is fantastic...just wanted to offer some insight into my ratings

I'm a left arm amputee. With this knee brace, I could walk much more safely and farther without pain. Unfortunately it's not practical to use one handed so I returned it. I'm thinking about ordering it again and having a specialist modify it so I can get it on and off one handed. Also I didn't understand what side support setting i needed. And orthotics specialist will know.

Immediately stopped the bone-on-bone pain while I await knee surgery. It is all extremely comfortable to sleep in. This is very important for me as I have to wake up often and sometimes early for work. This makes this invaluable for supporting my knee.

So I have damaged (again) my knee and the surgeon who reviewed me said an unloading knee brace might help. He warned that they are not cheap. I found a range of them on here and also other sites. It seems like a bit of a minefield of what to get and plenty of them looked exactly like this one but were much cheaper, but also had some poor reviews. This seemed to have better reviews, but is really quite expensive. Desperate to get something to help, I ordered it, hoping it would be next day delivery. Quite a shock to realise that it was a direct from China thing and took 3 weeks to arrive. When it came, it was in a very generic plastic bag with basic instructions and does not really feel like over £200 worth of product. I tried it and was not sure it helped, so took it down to the surgeon, who seemed to think that it should work with the hinge on the other side of the knee (it cannot work like that since it would be backwards). Anyway, the surgeon therefore basically said "use it if you want", which was not exactly inspiring. I have since given it one go and it may have helped, but I am still not sure. I seemed to have to tighten the straps very tight and was worried about affecting circulation. Hence, used twice so far and now back in the bag and may or may not be used again. I will talk to the physio when I get to see them and see what they say. Might have been rather a waste of money (and quite a lot of money at that). Time will tell.
