A good option for non weight bearing

I had limited options after ankle surgery due to a very recent rotator cuff repair as well. This brace has worked well with the following reservations: I can't recommend this if you are under 5"3". The frame is the same size for everyone and my femur is just not long enough to have it fit comfortably. At best it is WAY up the inside of my leg. Roger has been great at going through fitting with me several times. I just need a shorter brace. My left leg is braced so I can fit in the passenger side with the seat all the way back. I have to remove it completely to drive. It has been a great alternative to a scooter or iWalk.

Worth the money

Definitely takes a little time to get used to but once you do, it’s great. As an owner of a diner, there is no such thing as down time. This crutch had me back at work 8 days after breaking my ankle.

Great product

Unfortunately I broke my foot two weeks prior to shattering my knee. I wasn’t able to get and out of the car while wearing the brace.

Absolute Life Saver

I had a MACI transplant and Tibial Tubercule Osteotomy on August 8th, 2024 and on August 21st I started college. The estimated time on crutches was 8 to 10 weeks and I ended up being on crutches for over 12 weeks. By the second week of college, trying to get from class to class was killing me on crutches, that is when I found freedom leg. I decided to take the chance, and I'm glad I did. It came within the week, and I was using it within days. I still used one crutches, just because it made me feel the most sturdy, but the leg itself made my next 6 or so weeks much more enjoyable. I could keep it on all day with no problems and I was also able to carry things and be somewhat self sufficient. I 100% recommend getting the freedom leg as it was an absolute life safer!!!

Life Saver

After having rotator cuff surgery and bicep repair, and then needing a meniscus root repair, crutches were literally killing me. The Freedom Leg brace, gave me relief of the pain caused by the crutches and allow me to move about taking care of myself and able to help with tasks of everyday household chores. It was the best and only decision I could make to survive this last surgery. Strangely, my physical therapist said no, but my orthopedic surgeon said yes, that it did meet the non-weightbearing requirement.
