I've had this knee brace for about four years, and my orthopedic surgeons said it was comparable to anything he would be able to provide for me. I had to use it a lot before I had knee surgery. My knee is a lot better now, but sometimes if it flares up, I bust this brace out again. It's not the most comfortable thing in the world, but it's not terrible. And it's very supportive. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UVZJOQ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_MB66GFPKS6REDPW8E6PT?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
