A member asked:

If you have osgood-schlatter disease, what would be the best knee brace?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies: Some should never use a brace and some may need a long soft compression brace. The difference is determined by the findings on exam and the duration of symptoms. Talk it over with your doc. Using a brace without the need can produce muscle wasting in the treated leg.
