What to buy with Donjoy Renegade Knee Brace
How Does the Donjoy Renegade Support Combined Ligament Instability?
The Donjoy Renegade helps a lot when you have problems with your knee ligaments, especially if they're not very stable. It uses a special system called Four-Points-of-Leverage, which is patented by Donjoy. This system, along with hinges on both sides, helps keep your knee steady and puts pressure where it's needed most. The brace can be adjusted to support specific parts of your knee that need the most help.
