My 13 year old son has a partial tear in his anterior cruciate ligament following a rugby injury last September. After being diagnosed and dismissed from the orthopaedic clinic, with basically a 'hey-ho, not much we can do for him, just needs to be careful' (just what a 13 year old needs to hear - NOT) and no physio or advice offered, my Chiropractor suggested that he wear a knee brace. After searching the internet, I decided that as this product was MHRA approved and had a compression system which would not let my son over-tighten, it was perfect!! He has so much more confidence now, and the rods give him added stability to the knee - great product, great price! Thank you :-)
