Mett's injury was partly because of the brace

know for certain it's possible the DJ Ortho prophylactic ACL brave may have prevented a tear.

Sounds like a slam dunk.

I was a rep for the company for a couple years and learned all about the science and technology as a result. DJ has a patented anterior and posterior shell which supports the knee much better than the competition that only has anterior protection. The way he was hit and the knee bent could have been supported greatly by the posterior protection that the brace he was wearing (Breg) does not have!

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?

Is there a difference in mobility between the braces?

I agree the breg is crap, donjoy is not that much better though. CTi is where it's at.

If im not mistaken the brace was on the other knee.... not the one he injured....

Ill answer two questions. First off, it was the left leg that suffered the injury, the stepping leg with the brace and second, it has been proven that these braces help stabilize the knee. I NEVER said in all cases they prevent an injury, however at times when players are rolled on by 320lb. lineman, I have learned that these braces have saved careers. I cant prove 100% that another brace would have absolutely prevented Mett's injury, no one can for sure, however, I can speak for the differences in the product and one is better than the other. Whoever stated that there is no data proving these braces help stabilize the joint and prevent ligament tear is a fool. Tell that to an orthopedic surgery and he will laugh at you. If that were the case, why does every football team, college and NFL, wear them?
