Details
The Tru-Pull Lite is DonJoy's most comfortable, low profile and shortest patellofemoral brace, yet strong enough to help relieve knee pain! This patella support brace is designed with pull straps above and below the patella (kneecap). This puts a "true" and consistent pull on the kneecap during flexion and extension, which realigns the patella. By properly aligning the kneecap you reduce the pain that comes with patellofemoral problems like dislocating your kneecap.
Features & Benefits
- Bifurcated strap pulls patella into proper alignment and helps reduce pain
- Dual durameter buttress system provides a soft tacky connection with the patella ensuring maximum support
- Thigh and calf anchors prevent brace from rotating
- Breath-O-Prene fabric is breathable and lightweight
- Plastic hinges provide additional medial and lateral stability
- Designed to support and protect patella instabilities, dislocations, and tracking issues, mild to moderate anterior knee pain, patellofemoral dysfunction, lateral subluxation, and patellar maltracking
- Best for everyday activities, running, soccer, walking

Great Quality Brace!
My daughter has been wearing this for almost a year for a patellar subluxation. I came to this site to buy a replacement of the same exact brace because it works well, keeps her knee cap in place, and makes her feel safe.
Pros: The gel pack holds the patella in place; it easy to strap on and stays in place
Cons: It gets smelly, of course and over time, the gel pack eventually wears down (expected).

brace works as advertised
after a total knee replacement and 2 tears, one being a partial tear of the quad tendon and a tear in my quad this helps keep the knee cap on track rather then going back into the knee for immediate repair right now....good for what it is needed for...would recommend this brace for anyone with a patella tracking issue...
Pros: light weight...non cumbersome...
Cons: none that i can think of

Just what the Dr. ordered
After a broken leg in a motorcycle accident, my husband's kneecap would never sit into the groove as it should (it was staying to the outside of the leg). When it would shift, his leg would buckle. This brace helps keep the patella stable so that a fall is less likely. Seems well made and easy to put on and adjust. We've only had it a short time but it looks durable. We are pleased at this point.
Pros: Easy to figure out what's right for you
Cons: The wedge that goes against the patella needs to be cleaned to keep it's stickiness ----- not really a con ---- just a reminder.

Remove the Hinges and metal spring things. (whatever they are)
Works great for patella support, however wearing them long term while playing soccer gradually caused injuries which i eventually figured were caused by the extra pressure put on my inside leg muscles from the hinges. Removed everything. nothing left but straps and the patella gels.
Pros: Patella femoral Syndrome. great support.
Cons: just remove the hinges. you won't need them long term, they'll just cause other problems.

Excellent Brace
The brace is very comfortable, allows for excellent range of motion, brace allows for patella tracking, has alleviated my knee pain, not completely but enough as to allow me to walk better. Fits tight and at times the tightness causes some swelling below the knee but not as bad as before.
Pros: Light, material keeps skin dry, excellent for walking, can be worn all day. Keeps patella in place, has brought down my pain level. Stays in place with. No sliding.
Cons: At times if secured too tight will cause some swelling below the knees

Great for patellar tracking and instability
I have a box full of knee braces and this is the one I turn to when I need reliable, strong support. I have patellar tracking issues and extreme instability following knee surgery. With this brace I can walk and do light exercise confidently without worrying about my tending slipping off or my knee bucking, as it does very frequently when I'm not wearing it. So far I have used this brace before surgery for running and after surgery for walking, hiking, biking, archery, slacklining, and using leg machines at the gym. I usually wear it on my bare leg with shorts but it also fits over leggings or tight jeans if I need it to. I also like that this is relatively low-profile. I am 5'4" with short legs and this brace does not look overwhelming on my small frame.
Yes, the velcro does weaken over time, but given how much I use it I'm not too upset. I've been using this brace for around 6 months and I probably wont have to buy a new one for another couple of months. I highly recommend this brace for anyone looking for patellar tracking support or help with knee instability.

Pros: Keeps patellar tendon in place
Gives stability to the joint
Comfortable enough to wear for hours at a time
Fits over tight pants and under loose pants if needed
Cons: I have to tighten it often
The velcro has worn out over time
Sometimes have to wipe the rubber pad with a wet cloth to regain "tackiness" that helps it stick to the knee

Great brace
I bought this brace for my daughter after a traumatic dislocation. I'm a Physical Therapist and have worked with a lot of different braces that do nothing to stabilize the patella. This brace has been by far the best. She has been able to complete her track season, running and throwing events, as well as catching for her softball team.

Best knee brace that I've ever had!
This is by far, the best knee brace that I've ever had. It is comfortable and also keeps my knee secure. I don't have to worry about my knee giving out without giving up comfort.
Pros: Comfortable, fits well, keeps knee secure.
Cons: Could be a little longer - but serves its purpose as an every day brace as opposed to one to be used for sports, etc.

An awesome brace to keep your kneecap where it belongs
I have tried numerous braces to help with my patellar subluxation, but none have ever even come close this one. Other braces are either too bulky or do not provide enough support. I am a trail runner which puts a huge amount of stress on a brace like this one. I have worn one through some very wicked trail marathons and half-marathon training runs every week. I swap out for a new one about once a year only because I want to be cautious.
Pros: Best support that I have found
Not bulky or limiting to range of motion
Protects well against even very punishing activities
Seems like it would never actually wear out
Cons: It stays in place and supports so well, because it is a tight fit - even in the right size. After hours and hours of use, it can become mildly uncomfortable.
