Are knee braces / immobilizers used for all knee micro fracture surgeries?

Not necessarily: This is highly dependent on your surgeon and his/her protocol. Typically microfracture under the patella is an indicator for a knee brace post-op. Ask your surgeon for their preference. Best of luck!

Knee Braces: Knee immobilization is commonly used after micro fracture technique done on the knee. There should have been a very specific rehabilitation protocol given to you prior to and reinforce after surgery. The first 6 weeks would involve protected weight bearing, initial immobilization, followed by gentle range of motion. Braces may be involved.
