[QUOTE="carnage, post: 693423, member: 22286"] As far as my patella goes, I developed an inflamation right under the center of it. This was a result of my patella not tracking properly. What we later found out was that the quads were not firing properly so my patella wasn't being pulled evenly for lack of better words. After a couple of painful deep tissue massages of the quad right above the patella to break up the scar tissue everything started working normally again and I haven't had a problem since. As far as a brace goes you'll get many different view points. Personaly, I'll wear mine when I ride until my knee is fully healed. I might even stretch that out to a full year post-op. After wearing it all day last Saturday I'll say that it gives plenty of support for hyper-extension and side impacts. However, would it have prevented my injury in the first place, doubt it. My foot had gotten stuck and the knee twisted pretty violently about 180 degrees. If, and I do stress the if, it would have prevented the knee from going then something else would of had to have given. If that other injury is a simple break then that would be worth it. A complicated spiral fracture or even a femur break and I'd start second guessing the brace. I think the brace will prevent minor force twists of the knee and the side impacts and hyper-extensions. Any major twisting force to the knee area and I'm not so sure it would have helped. Just my opinion.. others vary. [/QUOTE]
