United Ortho 61016 3-Panel Knee Immobilizer, 16" Size

Works good! It slides down after awhile, but that’s to be expected with any brace of this type. It feels decently durable, easy to use and comfortable. It has a wide variety of adjustments, so it can fit most legs. It supports the knee and leg well while stabilizing it.

Its a high quality brace in every single way, it immobilizes my knee as good as the bigger bulky brace from my doctor.but it does have one flaw. The strap right above the knee rubs against the skin.The padding under the strap doesn't cover the skin so the rough nylon strap will rub against the skin. It doesn't matter how you adjust the strap, it will either rub, or velcro wont stick. I dont think it will be a big deal for most people since we will likely wear the brace over our pants. But this is definitely a small design flow that could've even avoided with better planning

I have an Ossur post op hinged knee brace to wear following my knee surgery. I have not slept since my surgery. It’s been weeks. The adjustments on the side of this style brace make it very uncomfortable to sleep in. I wish I didn’t have to wear it at night but I do. I finally broke down and got this soft sided brace to sleep in. It is so much better for that. It definitely slides down quite a bit overnight, no matter how tight I make it. I got the longest size in hopes that my foot would help it stay in place. It does help it a bit. I recommend doing this as well. My knee has considerable swelling. This brace and the swelling make it feel sooo hot, but I’ll deal with all of that for a little rest. This has helped. I am going to try putting the extra foam square behind my knee. I hear that helps with the sliding down issue.

On 7/6 I fractured my tibial plateau on my right leg. I'm 5’4”. The ER-provided me a 24” brace that was so long it went from my crotch to my ankle, so unbearably uncomfortable. I managed to tolerate that for 2 days then ordered this one based off of reviews. The 16” length is so much more tolerable and comfortable especially for sleeping. It is made of a cotton material instead of foam which is more comfortable. It isn't slip-proof but I have thick thighs, almost 27” circumference 6” above the knee, so I'm not sure any brace will be slip proof, I did find that wrapping some self-adhesive bandage wrap on my leg below my knee helps keep the brace more in place for a bit longer. It also stays in place a bit better if the wrap can be put on skin vs clothing. Also making the straps under the knee tighter than around the thigh helps with slipping. It does keep my knee from bending which is my goal. I'm not super pleased with the quality as I've only had it for a little over a week and the straps are starting to fray around the edges and some of the velcro is becoming weak especially around the side bars. It was fairly easy to adjust and size when first receiving. Every other day or so I notice I have to make some size adjustments. And it seems as of day 9 of use its becoming weaker and weaker causing me to do more adjusting than I wish. I'm not sure this will fully hold up for another 6 weeks so hopefully I get to upgrade to a hinged brace soon! All in all this is a better choice than the hospital provided brace and I'm not mad I got it. It has assisted in more comfortable sleep and mobility during the healing process. I wore this brace to my Orthopedic Surgeon visit and he approved stating they would provide something very similar to the ER provides full leg brace.If you are miserable in a giant leg contraption give this a try!

This is was a real SLEEP saver....I injured my knee and was unable to keep my leg straight while I slept. The pain was horrible when I bent my leg. This immobilizer is super, it keeps my leg in the straight position while sleeping,which, is speeding up the recovery. I am 5'2' tall and the 12 was the perfect size. Light weight and well padded.

This item does not fit correctly. It does not close at the top at all and slides down every time I stand up. The velcro right above the knee has Jagged edges that cut into your skin. In the plastic that goes along the back side of your leg the bottom part of it sticks into your calf. The knee part is way too big considering the bottom and especially the top of the Brace. If i was able to drive and get out to return it i would. Ill never order this brand ever again. Wasted what littlemoney i had on it. Was so excited only to be so disappointed.

I had to get a size down but if its your size it works and as comfortable as a immobilizer gets

My husband had his 3rd knee surgery after the first one was botched. The 3rd surgery (2nd Revision) was to fix the soft tissue and hold knee cap in place - and he was not permitted to bend the knee at all for 8 weeks (think Peg Leg Pete!). The brace the doctor gave him would not stay up and had metal on both sides - NOT comfortable at all. The doctor suggested we try something on Amazon.. This brace was great! its soft cloth and padded with Velcro straps in the right places. The 'stays' that hold the knee straight are built inside the cloth/pads. He wore throughout the day and could finally sleep wearing it.. Thankful it was only 8 weeks, but a long 8 weeks. Hope to never need it again, but it sure helped while he was recovering.
