        The Solution for Mild to Moderate Ligament Injuries (ACL Knee Brace)

        Even mild ligament strains can bring activity levels to a halt. Playmaker II issues the stability needed and the comfort required to empower movement. Playmaker II is the right move, so get your move on! Provides support for hyperextended knee, ACL, MCL, and LCL instabilities caused by the injury.

        Four Points of Leverage
         - The straps are positioned to enhance the support of the ACL. 

        Sleeve Vs. Wraparound Knee Brace

        Sleeves require you to remove your shoe and slide the brace over your foot. Fits more snugly and stays in place. Once it's on it's requires little adjustment. The negative of a sleeve is it doesn't work well over pants.
        Wraparound braces are easier to apply especially for those with less hand strength and can be worn over thin pants. The velcro can be tightened or loosened for a more adjustable fit. Great for users who can't bend over as well and have trouble getting a sleeve on or off.
        The negative of a wraparound brace is the velcro can loosen during activity requiring a quick tightening of the Velcro.

        Features and Benefits:

        IMMEASURABLE COMFORT
         - Hi10™(high tenacity nylon/spandex fabric) offers unmatched comfort and fit "COOLER" EXPERIENCE

        Amazing Brace!!

        I had a Total Knee Replacement 8 months ago and rehab was going slow. Found out I also have a Posterlateral Corner tear I’ve been walking around on for 2 years. Still needing that fixed.

        I did a ton of research to find something to stabilize my knee and the DonJoy Playmaker II kept coming up. Best $200 spent!! This brace truly supports my knee for the mess of ligament damage but is perfect to not hinder a new knee. I wear a compression sleeve under it and it’s never slipped down. The material is a God send and doesn’t smell terrible as I work outside and sweat a lot.

        For a “off the shelf” brace, this is amazing!!

        Much appreciated!

        Playmaker II is excellent

        I had a Playmaker II for several years due to a torn meniscus. It has now progressed to bone on bone arthritis, but wearing the Playmaker II has allowed me to lead an active life, including running with my dogs. I recently lost that brace and was so relieved to find that I could replace it with the same Playmaker II. It is excellent, and it's such a relief that it hasn't been changed. Don't mess with success. Also, shipping was very fast, and Stacy was helpful in making sure I got the right thing,

        DonJoy Playmaker II Wraparound Knee Brace

        Was given the sleeve version of the DonJoy Knee Brace by my orthopedic doctor. It is a very nice brace but very inconvenient because you must remove your shoes and pants when you want to remove it. Ordered the wraparound version and it serves the same purpose medically only much more convenient. You can wear shoes, pants, shorts, etc. and all you have to do is undo the Velcro to remove it. Wear it daily, wear it to physical therapy,
        Easy to remove and put back on. Great purchase, I highly recommend it.

        Ordered 3xl, and got xl in its place

        Ordered a 3xl and the bag said 3xl, but it was a xl brace inside. Getting ready to ship it back

        Thank you for your review. The packaging said 3XL but the brace inside was indeed an XL. We contact the manufacturer and let them know that there was a batch mistake on this part number. We apologize that the correct brace did not get to you. As of 4/7/22, that size is on national backorder so a refund was issued. We hope you recovery goes well.

        Perfect for me with the redesigned anchor supports

        I’ve had two surgeries on my knee for meniscus tears, resulting in looseness in the laterals and knee giving on a bend. I play doubles tennis three days a week with no problems. New wider anchor supports on this playmaker II gives it a five.

        Great Brace for left MCL sprain - Hockey Goaltender

        I am a hockey goaltender in an adult hockey league, and also hold a kinesiology degree and am very knowledgeable in injuries and rehab. A week ago I sprained my left MCL while reaching for a left leg pad save (Grade II sprain). I still have an old DonJoy brace from about 10 years ago that is a bit worn and a little stiff, and I decided to buy this one based on reviews and description. The brace fits perfectly based on the sizing chart provided and measuring instruction video. Very comfortable to wear, and very supportive. This brace is much more comfortable and flexible than my old brace. I am now able to do squats, lunges, steps, etc, for my rehab without pain or fear of injury. The knee feels very supported and also flexible and comfortable. It feels so supportive, I feel like I could go back in and play today, but I know I should continue to rehab. The brace is comfortable enough and flexible enough, I will continue to wear it for the rest of the season when I go back on the ice. I'm really happy with my purchase, and am excited to get back out on the ice!

        Perfect for Skiing/Snowboarding

        This knee brace was exactly what I needed to support my type 2 MCL sprain / tear. After two weeks I was back on the slopes and it feels great! Sizing can be a little tough; I'm right between a small and medium (skinny thighs), and the medium was definitely too big. With the wrap, I was able to swap the two straps on the bottom and get a good fit by leaving the bottom flap a little looser. I wear it over a sleeve and under my clothes; if I was wearing it on top of clothes then a medium would have been necessary. All around great value, and customer service at Ortho Bracing is top notch!

        Autumn Brooks

        It feels a little loose right around my knee cap but I think I probably should've ordered one size smaller?
        I also wish that I had ordered the Wrap-around option instead of the sleeve. It irritates my skin in a couple places so I have to wear a compression sleeve underneath it.
        It's also difficult to wear with anything except shorts because of how bulky it is.
        Otherwise, the brace has been helping a lot with keeping my knee stable and in place, especially while hiking. I really like that I can adjust the range of motion as well to avoid overextending/dislocation.

        It’s Opening My World

        I am recovering from a full tear of my MCL. After being given the go ahead from my orthopedic surgeon to ease into normal activity and a prescription for the playmaker, I strapped it on and went hiking. Significant climbs, and more importantly, descents, were carefree. The only thing holding me back now is the loss of cardio fitness while immobilized, but this brace is making it easy to begin regaining it. My only issue is that the stitching on the sleeve is agitating my skin in places, but it seems a worthwhile trade-off.

        Hello, how do I know what size to order? Are there some measurements I should be aware of?
        I am not sure if I am medium or large. I am short at 5'3" but I do have a large-ish thigh. Which do you recommend?
        Thanks,

        I measured my knee / leg like the video said but I do not see where to put these measurements in to determine my size.

        Knee 16”

        6” above knee 19”

        6” below knee 16.5”

        What size should I order for playmaker II knee brace?
