Mcdavid - 429X - Meniscus and Ligament Knee Brace - Unisex adult - Knee supports - Prevents injury and relieves pain - Secure fit - Crossfit knee braces - (429X)

I don't usually leave reviews but I'm so happy with this knee brace that I had to write something. My right knee 20 years ago had outside cartilage removed and I am bone into bone. This injury has caused extra work for the inside of my knee which has resulted in a lot of inside knee pain lately. I golf regularly and mostly walk to get exercise. Over 20 years I've been through many braces but this is the most support with the most comfort I've had from a brace. I recently had the Shock Doctor hinged brace and the hinges being pulled into my knee by the straps hurt the bones in the knee. This McDavid 429X Knee Brace allows you to adjust how tight you want the hinges to your knee (cross straps) and the top and bottom straps help with carrying the load. It is a very flexible brace. I little bulky in size because of the hinges and I have a big calf so it is a little work to pull it up but that is just par for the course with hinged braces. I would buy again.

This is just what I was looking for. It has hinges on both sides to help support My knee. I have an undiagnosed meniscus tear on the inside of my right knee. periodically it likes to pop out / lock when I am playing Basketball or when doing Tae Kwon Do. Requires me to get it back into place before continuing and can be rather painful. For me this is what I needed. It is so far the most comfortable I have tried. I have used it for about 6 months now actively playing ball twice a week and it has given me the support I need for those side to side movements that happen a lot. I cannot compare to a professional brace but I am very satisfied with the results I get when using this one. I particularly like the support from the crisscross velcro elastic both below and above the knee. Make sure you follow the instructions to measure your knee for the right size. just for reference I am 61 years old and was thinking I would be stopping playing but this has allowed me to continue playing the game I love. I also like the donut hole padding around the knee cap. it helps it to not get to hot and has helped protect my knee on multiple occasions. I would definitely recommend this brace and when mine wears out I won't hesitate to buy another one.

When I realized I needed a new brace, I went searching for value. 4 braces tried from 2 different names I'd never heard of and not one of them fit properly. They all had 4 stars, but several reviews touched on the ill fit. Defeated, I went online searching and came across McDavid - a name I'd heard of before and decided to do a brand specific search for them on Amazon. My McDavid brace is the 5th brace I've ordered in 8 days (and 3rd name). The first 4 sent back, but this one is NOT being sent back. It fits everywhere I need it to and the support is EXACTLY what I was looking for. In the end, I spent more than I was wanting to, but the fit, materials, and construction of the brace is completely worth the price, and if I am ever in the position of needing another I will not hesitate one bit to get another. No question! If you are still athletically active and plan on using your brace during competition - go with this brace.

I sprained my knee a few months ago so the inner side of the knee and the tendon beneath the kneecap would hurt when i tried to bend down or carried too much weight while walking. It still pains me a little now and i was starting a new job in construction so i bought this hoping it would help. I had bought a knee brace before without hinges and it didn't help at all and actually made the tendon under the kneecap hurt more when bending so i decided to get this because of the metal hinges and extra straps. It removed most of the pain from the inner side of the knee and i could bend further down without the other tendon hurting, if i bent too low it would hurt though. Only one time did the hinge dig into my calf and that was when i was using it on the treadmill but it wasn't unbearable. I find that on one side the pocket where the hinge is in is maybe 1/8th of and inch too long and would cause that problem when the bottom edge of the brace rolled up slightly but wearing longer socks or pulling it down fixed this problem. I never had this problem when walking or bending only running. Also the box it came with said it's only supposed to be used for 2-4 hours. I've used it for 8-10 hours and it still works but it will stretch a lot more because of that. It might provide slightly less protection but still worth using and better than the other brace. If you sit down and have your knee bent at or past 90 degrees for a few hours it will start to pinch in the back. Overall it has done the job for the past month. It's not a full metal or high end brace for athletes so you can still get injured while using it if you try doing stuff that puts a lot of pressure on the knee.

Great support and good fit!

Well constructed, but sizing information is very murky. Most people were recommending to order up a size if you are in the upper end of the range. For me, this did not work. My knee measured right at the maximum for a large so I ordered up per other reviews. It is definitely too big. I can cinch it down ok on my quad and calf, but I get no support on my patella, cinching it pushes it away from the front of the knee. I recommend ordering true to size. An added note: I believe part of my problem is my build. I have a fairly significant "hourglass" shape to my knees, fairly average bone structure but well developed leg muscles from years in Track and Field. This brace us a little two straight tapered for my knee shape.

if you have knee problems this hinge brace is the way to go. Been using MC Davids braces for.many.years the quality is the best.

Runs smaller than 429R, exchanged for Xlarge and they sent me another large despite a 20 higher price tag. No customer service.

Have had ACL replaced and Medials damaged in one knee after skiing injury. These are excellent for providing support and preventative treatment. Shame it's 'sock' affair rather than something you can wrap round knee then tighten support so for hill walking etc you need to be aware you have to strip your trousers off first to put them on before embarking on the activity. OK in summer when wearing shorts/weather warmer but if skiing/winter walking - something to definitely bear in mind as you'll need to change in car/toilets.

its tight and secures well on my knee..iv bought so many kneee support and brace but this one can hold properly

Nachdem bei mir 3 Orthesen aus dem Sanitätshaus im Praxistest durchgefallen waren (je um die 1600-1800€/Paar; hätte ich auf Rezept bekommen wegen beidseitiger Gonarthrose), bestellte ich aus Verzweiflung diese Orthese. Derzeit bin ich leider etwas übergewichtig und habe ein sehr weiches Bindegewebe. Dazu kommt ein sehr konisch geformter Oberschenkel (also am oberen Rand deutlich breiter als Richtung Knie), was für Bandagen und Orthesen eine echte Herausforderung ist. 2 Orthesen aus dem Fachhandel hinterließen nach 2 bis 4 Stunden so starke Hautreizungen oder Abschürfungen durch das Reiben der Nahtstellen auf der Haut, sodass ein längeres Tragen unmöglich war. Eine andere Orthese rutschte und fiel nach wenigen Schritten vom Bein. Irgend etwas brauchte ich jedoch gegen die Schmerzen. Da ich meine “Problenzonen“ kenne und weiß, worauf ich achten muss, stach mir diese Orthese ins Auge. Nach der Tabelle sollte mir Größe XL mehr oder weniger gerade noch so passen. Diese habe ich dann auch bestellt. Die Lieferung erfolgte am nächsten Tag. Nachdem ich einige Rezensionen zu der problematischen Rückgabe gelesen habe, machte mich das offene “Hygienesiegel“ (runder transparenter Klebepunkt, wie man ihn von vielen Verpackungen kennt) und abgebrochene Stellen an der Verpackung stutzig. Die Orthese sah jedoch unangetastet aus. Also: ausgepackt und am schlimmeren Knie anprobiert. Die Orthese macht einen gut verarbeiteten und wertigen Eindruck. Sie riecht etwas nach Neopren, aber nur, wenn man direkt daran schnüffelt. Das ist ganz normal bei Neopren. Kein chemischer Geruch oder so. Die angegebene Größe passt bei mir ganz genau. Sie liegt sehr eng am Bein, aber das soll sie ja auch, damit sie das Knie ordentlich stützen kann. Dann folgte der Härtetest: 4 Stunden schwedisches Einrichtungshaus und 1 Stunde Babyfachmarkt mit Baby und Kleinkind :-o Bestanden!!! Diese Orthese ist weder verrutscht, noch hinterließ sie Verletzungen an der Haut. Nach 10 Stunden war ich zwar froh, als ich sie endlich ausziehen konnte, aber der Tragekomfort ist tatsächlich bestmöglich! Und die Schmerzen sind weg! Damit stand auch dem Auspacken der 2. Orthese nichts mehr im Wege. Ich trage sie nun 4 Tage lang den ganzen Tag und bin absolut begeistert. Vielen Dank an den Hersteller für die Rettung!

Não veio o tamanho solicitado, muito grande e não serve pra qualquer tamanho

Ottimo tutore per il ginocchio con particolare qualità dei materiali e adattabilità sull'articolazione. È il primo tutore che portandolo tutto il giorno non fa le grinze dietro il ginocchio e non da fastidio, sono presenti fasce a strappo intorno alla rotula che garantiscono un buon contenimento in presenza di traumi o di problemi al menisco. Nel mio caso con il legamento collaterale infiammato ho beneficiato del giunto snodato che mi manteneva in asse ginocchio sostenendolo ma senza mai bloccarlo. Sono veramente soddisfatto e ve lo consiglio vivamente, anche alla luce del fatto che il prezzo è veramente vantaggioso.
