ok I've read the threads for knee braces, but i still dont know what knee brace i should get. i have never purchased a brace for riding. i currently own the CTI morph and absolutely hate it. may 22nd i will be 2 years post op. i tor my ACL, MCL, and meniscus. as for my femur braking the ligaments in my knee are weaker then my femur so i think ill take the risk of wearing a brace.
thanks for the help.

9 months ago I tore my meniscus, chiped cartlidge, complete tear of ACL. They removed most of the meniscus but didn't replace my ACL. because I couldnt afford to miss that much work.
I got a pair of Bledsoe costom fit knee braces, I love them. I can now ride again.

i have a couple friends who have tried the CTI and a couple other brands, and most of them swear by the Asterisk Cell brace. when i tore mine, that's the one they recommended most. now, that said, i haven't tried any other brands, but i bought the Asterisk Cell brace for my left knee. i tore my ACL 12/07 racing a hare scramble. i bought the Cell before i could even ride again. i then tore my ACL AGAIN this january, but i wasn't wearing my knee brace because i was riding my motard on the street and we were just gonna be cruising around with adventure bikes. i wish i would have been wearing it. i started riding again yesterday, and i won't ride anymore without it, that's for sure. i really like it, as it's very comfortable, and has some adjustability to make it fit like a truly custom brace.
