Knee pain or Osteoarthritis after a torn meniscus or ACL, and told "come back later" or "live with it"? It doesn't have to end in a knee replacement. Try it for 90 days or get your money back.
SteadyDial Knee Sleeve
What the research says about torn knees, arthritis and the knee replacement:
About half of people who tear an ACL or meniscus develop knee arthritis 10–20 years later.
See the studyKnee scopes for arthritis did no better than a fake (placebo) surgery, at any point in follow-up.
See the studyThe younger you are at a hip or knee replacement, the likelier a second one: up to 35% for men in their early 50s.
See the studyBraces with side stabilizers improved balance and reduced pain right after being put on.
See the studyThe first four studies are about torn knees, arthritis and knee replacements. The fifth tested braces with side stabilizers, the same support the SteadyDial is built on.
Most of my arthritis patients started with an old ACL or meniscus tear. They're told "too young, come back later." Meanwhile every stair wears the knee closer to bone on bone. So I recommend the SteadyDial: one turn holds the joint in line. Keep the knee replacement off the calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions

That's who it's made for. Turn the dial and the inner laces pull the joint in and hold it in line, so the stairs, the gym and long days feel better. Not better within 90 days? Full refund.
That's what it's for. It holds the joint in line, so the stairs, the gym and long shifts hurt less. When the bad days ease, the surgery can wait. Bone on bone doesn't have to mean booking it.
You can always choose surgery later. You can't take it back: the bone ends are gone for good. Try it for 90 days first. Not better? Full refund.
Many people do. In a major trial, scopes for arthritic knees did no better than a fake surgery, and experts now advise against them for knees like yours. Talk it through with your surgeon, and try 90 days with this while you decide.
Yes. Once you're cleared for normal activity after the scope, wear it every day.
No. Muscles get weaker when they stop working, and a sleeve doesn't stop them. Keep your strength work. Strong muscles move the knee; the dial holds the joint in line.
Yes. Dial it firmer for squats, runs, trails and stairs, and looser when you sit. Knee swells by evening? Click it looser. Take it off to sleep.
No. The grip band and the dial keep it where you put it, all day. If it ever slips, give the dial a click.
Measure around your thigh 4 in (10 cm) above the kneecap and match it to the chart. Between sizes? Go up. Pick the leg you'll wear it on so the dial sits on the outside. Both knees? Get one for each.
Yes. The slim knit fits under trousers, leggings and jeans, and the dial sits on the outside of your knee, so it's always within reach.
Pull the dial out and it releases at once; pull the lacing gently from the bottom to open it. Push the dial back in to lock it again. Hand wash cool, or machine wash on gentle in the mesh bag (free with 2+ sleeves). Air dry. No tumble dryer, no iron.
Your 90 days start the day it arrives. Wear it daily for 2 weeks. If your knee doesn't feel steadier, email hello@vydrah.com, send it back, and we'll refund you.
