Report
I had to post one star to make a comment.
Waiting on knee replacement I purchased a $2000. Knee brace although I had mention to the the professional fitter my concerns, I was talked into taking it. By the time I reached home I had hot spots where one side was digging in and no contact on the other causing the brace to want to spin around my leg.. I'm now three weeks behind, still don't have a brace and starting my search all over, as I would not go back and do business with someone that would encourage me to accept such a ill fitting device. I guess they get one star for having no problem returning
