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

My 86 yr old father-in-law is stubborn and has had bone-on-bone knee pain for years he dragged his leg behind him as he walked and it was painful finally went to a Orthopedic Dr who told him that because of his heart he is too old for surgery and shots would not work so he suggested a custom made brace which was going to cost $1,100 and insurance said they would not pay for the custom one because it was not a result of an injury. So he gave up I looked on Amazon and after researching and finding the one that most closely resembles the custom one and purchased took two day to arrive via FedEx in the middle of the Adirondacks. He was eager to try it out, it came with its own small easy to use tool to make some fine tuning adjustments and in a couple of minutes it was on and he was able to walk normal again with NO pain. Extremely well made product NOT cheaply made…Finally a quality product the way things use to be made. Thank you

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 brainerNOTE 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

have had this for 2 weeks now and wore this a couple of times. comfortable and easy to wear and adjust. have noticed improvement but still have ways to go. have yet to wash the parts that pick up sweat so curious to know how removal and wash will go. one of the straps was a bit long but adjustment (removing the velcro piece and cutting the strap) was easy enough. love that they added spare buckles but i would expect that for the price, buckles seem a bit flimsy but have yet to break. would be handy to have a clear but inconspicuous way to identify the calf and thigh parts but not a big issue

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?

This brace works! The Velcro is the strongest ever! It has removable pads and cushions and this allowed customization for comfort.My knee has been rubbed bad but this is because the brace moves if not properly adjusted and maintained. I still need to pull all padding off and readjust for my knee and I’m sure this will solve the rubbing issue.Price: amazing quality for price! When too much pressure is out on clips, they come undone instead of breaking. I like this feature.Overall: if you’ve had medial meniscectomy, this brace works to make space where there is no meniscus/cartilage and removes 100% impact pain most of the time!
