Mett's injury was partly because of the brace

Fror some strange reason, LSU chooses to use the Breg brace that I recently noticed Mett wearing as opposed to the #1 rated DJ Ortho ACL brace. I've worked for an orthopedic company in my past and it know for certain it's possible the DJ Ortho prophylactic ACL brave may have prevented a tear. They have 80%-90% market share and are contracted with about 95% of the 120+ NCAA schools. I was not happy when I saw him wearing what I consider to be a poor product.

Sounds like a slam dunk.

is there an injury that the breg brace is better at protecting then the DJ ortho brace.

what was the original injury that caused Met to ware a brace?

This is a total lie/marketing scheme...there is no clinical evidence to suggest that bracing prevents ACL injuries in non-previously injured ACL's. There is data that suggests knee braces help stabilize the joint in an already injured ACL, but prophylactic bracing to prevent ACL injuries has never been proven. If you link an article that proves me wrong I would like to read it. Otherwise, brace or no brace, Mett's knee was gonna get jacked up regardless.
