  • My son recently broke his wrist at the growth plate. He wants the cast removd and to wear the CXT for all time and riding motorcross, will this work?

  • Hi I am looking into your Don JOY wrist braces, the CXT and the SXT. I am trying to get back into surfing after 3 scaphoid surgeries. Would these braces be good for the water? Or do you have any water proof wrist brace suggestions that might be better?? I look forward to hearing from you.
  • Yes, both of these braces would be ok to use in the water. Just make sure when you are done surfing, to wash the linings in freshwater and a mild detergent to extend their life.
• From Oliver at 6/10/11 5:37 AM
  • I injured my wrist and 2 ligaments are torn. The docors said, it will be too complicated and too long of a rehab process to have surgery, while I am still doing sport (football).
    I am a football offensive lineman. Can the Brace be worn at that position? Should I get the Sport or the Speed Wrap?
    
  • Yes these braces are highly recommended for your position and will help protect and support you. I would suggest getting the Sport Wrap version.
• From Kallah at 7/27/11 3:24 AM
  • Hello there!
    I messed up my wrist over a year ago, and have been through two rounds of delightfully uncomfortable physical therapy. The wrist brace I was sent home with is very rigid, and stops me from being able to perform even basic actions with what used to be my good hand. I'm a bit confused about the three configurations of strapping for the CXT: do they effect the support, or just the ease of putting on the brace? Is there a noticeable difference in the bulk of the brace between them? I want something I can strap on and forget about it, even if it's a bit more complicated to get into and out of. Do you have any pictures of the different configurations, or directions that might clear things up for me?
    Thank you very much,
    Kallah
  • I will email you brochures to show you the pictures of the various strapping configurations.
• From Ron Breit at 10/2/11 5:17 AM
  • I am wondering if the insert is removable?
    I free dive,spearfish with a wrist that 2 hand docs wanted to operate on.
    I wear kevlar gloves to handle the fish.If the liner is removable, diving wont be as painfull I'm thinking. I appreciate your response.
    Ron
  • Hi Ron,
    
    Yes, the insert is removable on this product and it can provide additional support.
    
    Is you have additional questions please call, 1800-553-6019
    
    Happy Fishing!

  • My son is a lineman in football, playing at the college level. Do you recommend the CXT & SXT version?
    
    He broke his scafoid and had to have surgery with bone taken from his hip as a graph.
  • The CXT would be recommended for a football lineman.
• From DJ at 10/26/11 8:45 PM
  • I play baseball and I dislocated my wrist in a cleating accident. Will this brace help me with the stability of my wrist while I bat and throw, and will it protect my wrist from re-dislocating when I run the bases and slide into the bag head first? Also which version should I get, the sport, speed or the lacer version? Which is the best version for me and my sport and what is the difference between these versions?
    Thanks,
    DJ
  • This brace will help with the support and stabilization while you participate in baseball. The most popular and preferred style is the sport wrap, this one will be the best for your sport and activity level.
• From Richard at 11/28/11 10:55 AM
  • I have a fractured scaphoid - injured long ago and now necrotic bone.
    At age 64 I need some additional support in Yoga classes.
    Which brace would be recommended?
    
  • Has your physician prescribed a product for you? Do you need stability? Immobilization? This product will limit extension and has an option to limit radial and ulnar deviation which is the motion you make when waving your hand.
• From Fred at 1/7/12 8:41 AM
  • I suffer from a SLAC wrist (left) and ride dirt bikes. Which strapping configuration would work best for me?
    
    Thanks!
  • Hi Fred,
    
    I suggest ordering the Lacer version. If you plan on using the removeable palmar stay, the lacer feeds through the stay and helps keep it secure for longer periods of time.
    
    If you have additional questions, please call 1-800-553-6019
• From Jolanta at 4/13/12 7:32 AM
  • What strapping configuration would be the most suitable for motocross riding? I had right wrist distal radius fracture/surgery with titanium plates inserted.
    Thank you.
  • Hi jolanta,
    
    The lacer strapping version is best for long term wear during motorcross.
    
    Have a nice day.
• From Kevan at 7/25/12 8:03 PM
  • My son is QB in youth football. He broke his wrist at growth plate and thankfully it healed well. He will have his cast removed in a few weeks and is anxious to get back to the huddle! Would this brace interfere with his position? It is not his throwing arm, but worried about it being to bulky receiving snaps and handoffs. Help
  • Both the CXT and SXT restrict the wrist from going back. I do not know if your son could get his hand in the proper position to accept a snap with this brace.
• From Ben at 7/29/12 4:06 PM
  • I play football as a safety, i have fractured my scaphoid awhile back and i was wondering what type of brace would you recommend for me.
    
  • Either brace would work the difference is the material used to make it. This will keep your wrist fromgoing into extension.
• From missy at 2/10/13 7:20 AM
  • hi--i recently fractured my radius and several bones around my wrist during roller derby, and i was wondering if this would work for me. which version is appropriate? would this replace my (obviously inadequate) wrist guards and give me proper impact protection? thank you!
  • Hello, Missy -
    
    Yes this brace would be the most appropriate choice. For your activity and your injury, the most appropriate choice would be the CXT (Carbon Fiber) for maximum strength. It is recommended for people intending to use them with high impact, high contact and collision activity such as yours.
    
    Thank you and have a wonderful day!
• From Jon at 4/10/13 3:05 AM
  • Hello,
    
    I very broke my left distal radius and ulna very severely about 7 months ago. I had to get 2 titanium plates and 18 screws put in it. While my doctors tell me that my healing should be complete I still live with a large amount of pain. If I bump my wrist or try and apply any kind of pressure to my hand or wrist I get almost a debilitating pain.
    
    I am looking for a brace that is more heavy duty that would help protect my arm that I could wear everyday and was functional.
    
    Thank you,
    
    Jon
  • Jon,
    The CXT and SXT are the most rugged, functional wrist brace we have.
• From Rochelle at 4/16/13 8:25 PM
  • Can I golf with this brace?
    
  • Yes
• From Amy at 4/30/13 8:47 AM
  • Hello, I suffered a distal radius fracture that was slightly displaced, and it was reduced back I to position about five weeks ago. No surgery was required. I get the cast off in a few days, and will be working to get back to my mountain bike racing in the cross country and downhill disciplines (downhill is similar to motor cross). Would the CXT or SXT be appropriate to use while I regain normal function during these activities, and if so what strapping configuration would be best?
    
    As far as sizing, is the measurement in inches across the wrist?
  • Hello,
    
    The difference between the two braces is the strengthen of the material. The most appropriate choice would be the CXT (Carbon Fiber) for maximum strength. It is recommended for people intending to wear with high impact, high contact and collision activity such as yours. The sizing measurement are taken in inch's. We recommend the SPEED, it has a quick application and the lowest profile design.

• From David at 5/25/13 12:18 PM
  • hello,
    So a little over 3 years ago I dislocated my wrist, ripping the tendons along with it. Had surgery and was in a cast for about 5 weeks. I had two pins taken out and 6 months physical therapy. I remain very active but at times my wrist is very sore and tender. I love playing sports and recently picked up lacrosse, but I definitely am a little cautious because of my injury and my wrist has been more sore and tender then usual. Would the CXT be a good choice for me? or is there another brace you would recommend.
    Thank you,
    David
  • Hello David,
    
    Yes, the CXT is appropriate for your activity level and past injury history. I recommend the "Speed" Strapping, it's quick and low profile, perfect for athletes.
    
    If you would like to speak to a Product Specialist please call us at 1-888-405-3251.
    
    Have a Great Day.

• From Jason at 6/5/13 4:30 AM
  • I have a TFCC injury. I had surgery five months ago but still get periods of pain bending/apply pressure in the ulnar direction of wrist/hand. My doctor suggested more surgery, or live with it and brace. I do not want more surgery and accept wearing a brace. I want to restrict my wrist bending in the ulnar direction. Will the CXT/SXT do that? Which one should I get: CXT, SXT, Lace, Sport, Speed? I plain on wearing it a lot: Work, I use a computer/mouse all day; Personally, I want to mountain/road bike and snowboard. Let me know your feedback. Thank you, Jason.
  • Hello Jason,
    
    The CXT/SXT is designed to be worn during extreme contact sports; motorcross, mountain biking, snowboarding. So, for these activities the brace would be great. For daily wear, you may be more comfortable in a general wrist brace.
    
    The sport lace version is the easiet and quickest application, great for athletes. The difference between CXT and SXT, is the material the brace is made of. The CXT is more rigid made of Carbon Fiber and I recommend this one for extreme sports.
    
    Please call a Product Specialist for additional questions 1-888-405-3251.

• From David Wilbanks at 6/6/13 10:15 AM
  • Which model is best for golf? Lacer, Speed or Sport?
  • Hello David,
    
    What is the injury?
    
    The CXT/SXT is designed for extreme sports, like motor cross. If you need general wrist support I would recommend a wrist wrap, which will allow you full range of motion while golfing.
    
    The Extreme athletes that use the CXT prefer the Sport version because it's a quick application.
