Knee Brace

Postby hwy1surf » Mon Aug 22, 2011 10:08 pm

HELP,

I was out surfing the NS HB and I blew out my knee a couple weeks ago. Torn MCL, fractured tibia, and torn meniscus, anyway, can anyone recommend a knee brace for when I'm able to get back out in the water.

Bit of a trainwreck to your knee, I'd be talking to your orthopedic surgeon and the physical therapists that are going to take charge of your rehabilitation, tell them you want to surf again, get them to tell the realities of your injury and what you progress should be.
With good muscle balance the knee should be stable and the exercises you do now as part of your recovery. will determine how you go towards that aim. If know of surfers who have recovered from similar injuries ask them how they recovered and repeat the process.
They are more like to know too of any sort of brace that might help :D Good Luck
