Cho-Pat knee braces, post arthroscopy

[Zverev]

Which one of the following Cho-Pat knee braces is best and why:
Dual Action Knee Starp
Cho-Pat Patella Stabiliser
Cho-Pat Counter force knee wrap

I possibly have my meniscus torn, that's what my specialist believes.
What brace would be good for that?

I wonder if anyone has any suggestions on teh following:
If pain bothers you mostly after the game,
but still quite tolerarble in your everyday life, should you do arthroscopy and chop off part of meniscus (it looks like the tear in non reparable part),
or just keep going like that - what are negatives anyway, except for slight pain. Cause chopping off leads to arthritis, right?

Thanks

I'd suggest you to go to my posting at:

and post to some of the forums listed in the
Knee section.
There are some specialists out there and anyway you could learn a lot.

I use the Cho-Pat Dual Action Knee Strap due to loose knees (wear and tear) and jumper's knee. It is very comfortable and offers good support. I would caution anyone to make sure they work on strengthening their leg muscles (especially knee specific) and not just rely on the brace or support. On occasion, I may use just a knee strap. I would talk with an orthopedist for their recommendation as well. Good luck.
