DonJoy Drytex Hinged Air Knee Brace reviews

I have only recently received my brace through the VA and am overall impressed with the ease of operation and the stability afforded by the system. The added comfort afforded by the air compartments serve as an additional plus for the braces which have provided me with increased flexibility while experiencing issues with my knees locking and subsequent pain from tears that have existed over years of military service. In the short time that I have used the braces, I have experienced some pinching of the back part of my knees. Nevertheless, I am pleased with my two braces and the enhanced mobility that each provides. - Edward

Questions on DonJoy Drytex Hinged Air Knee Brace

From dancinonwater at 2/1/11 1:56 PM
- how does this brace compare to the breg pto?
- The DonJoy Drytex Hinged Air Knee Brace is a patellofemoral brace that will stabilize you kneecap; however, the DonJoy brace most compatible to the PTO is the Tru-Pull Advanced System which had the bifurcated strap to adjust the amount of support to the needs of your knee. The Tru-Pull Advanced knee brace comes with or without hinges. Another patellofemoral brace that is unique to the market is the DonJoy Reaction brace which has the elastomeric web design. The elastomeric design creates energy dispersion across the knee for optimal shock absorption

From Tony Randall at 2/27/11 4:30 PM
- I had an meniscus removed 25 years ago. To this day my knee swells with use such as hiking or BC/XC skiing . I am looking at the braces for this specific injury. I find that my thigh is a medium 19 " and my calf is a large 16".Is it better to go with the large or medium?Need the support but am concerned about cutting off the circulation if the calf is too tight.
- I would recommend getting the Hinged Donjoy knee brace, wrap-around, in drytex, in medium. A large would be too loose on your thigh. The wrap-around would allow for adjustability, and they drytex will stretch over time. That is your best fit.

From Brandon at 4/4/11 1:34 PM
- Can the DonJoy Drytex Hinged Air Knee Brace be used for basketball and weight lifting if you have a meniscus tear? If not what brace should be used?

From Marsha harlow at 5/12/11 3:15 PM
- My daughter needs xl knee brace. We have several with velco straps. These braces do not stay up despite us making them as tight as possible. Any suggestions. Her patella needs stabilizing. Thank you
- With the Hinged Air DonJoy, It is going to have the uprights and hinges in this brace, which will help keep the brace suspended along with the velcro straps. This brace will be more efficient, while still providing patella stabilization.

From Heather Stone at 12/4/11 11:35 AM
- i am a inline speed skater so i have down starts i have to do. Is this hinged brace going to allow me the full degrees to start without worries?
- Hi Heather,
  
  Yes, the brace will allow for full knee flexion.

From Cletus Decker at 1/19/12 6:03 PM
- I have torn miniscus in left knee ( right replaced ) and bone on bone issues and need support for the next three months until I return home for possible surgery. I play golf 5x weekly so I need an apparatus to take the shock and twisting which I do not overload as when younger. What would be some possiblities to reduce pain, other than stopping golfing. The left leg is 2" outbound from knee down.
- Based on your injury and activity level the OA FullForce would be recommended.
