View full detailsYour knee’s meniscus is a crescent-shaped cartilage that cushions and stabilizes the joint. When it’s torn or damaged, you may feel pain, swelling, or a catching sensation, making movement difficult. At Brace Direct, we offer specialized braces designed to reduce strain, improve alignment, and ease pain, helping you move with greater confidence and speedier recovery.
Meniscus damage can happen suddenly or develop gradually. Frequent culprits include:
Signs can include swelling, locking or catching, joint line tenderness, and difficulty bending or straightening the knee fully.
A supportive knee brace can alleviate stress on your meniscus by:
By limiting harmful motions and offering structural support, bracing can accelerate healing and lower the risk of re-injury.
Explore our knee braces geared toward managing meniscus injuries, reducing pain, and allowing safer motion:

Recovery time varies widely. Minor tears may improve in 4–6 weeks with rest, physical therapy, and bracing, whereas more serious or degenerative tears could take months or require surgery. Proper support and guided exercises typically speed healing by reducing strain on damaged cartilage.
Many partial tears respond well to conservative treatments, such as rest, bracing, and targeted rehabilitation. However, more extensive tears or those causing persistent symptoms might need surgical intervention. Consulting a sports medicine specialist is key for determining whether non-surgical care is an option.
Light walking can be possible if pain allows, but excessive weight-bearing or twisting motions risk worsening the injury. A supportive knee brace often helps maintain stability and comfort while you move. When in doubt, get advice from a healthcare provider before engaging in prolonged activity.
Look for a plus-size hinged brace that offers adjustable range-of-motion settings and firm lateral support. A product like the Brace Direct Plus Size ROM Knee Brace accommodates bigger thighs and calves while ensuring compression and stability for safer movement.

It depends on the severity of your tear, pain level, and how stable your knee feels. Some individuals benefit from crutches to reduce pressure on the joint, while others manage fine with a supportive knee brace and a slow, careful walking pace. Your physician or physical therapist can recommend the best approach.
