I am sorry to say but it has been so long since I used this knee support. I have or had arthritis in my knees. I have had both knees replaced and I am living again.

Buy the XLG as it will fit even better around an 18 inch knee and provide more support.

It is ideal to have slightly larger size of caps with adjustable straps. If it is too tight, knee will be paining more durimg walking.

Sorry about your knee. No fun for sure. I am not a doctor however I will share my sons experience. My son was born with a severe club foot that required 3 surgeries to correct at 14 months old. He is now 26 years and has been suffering with arthritis for about 4 years. I originally bought this for myself and he had asked me if I thought it could help him. I was not sure if it would so we gave it a try and it did! He said that it works great for him. I now see that there are pads available on Amazon. I will be buying some here. (The unit wants you to purchase replacements from China. I did not feel comfortable doing that). Best wishes to you.Cheryl Sorry about your knee. No fun for sure.

You're overthinking this. Measure from under your knee cap (aka the bottom of your knee pit), not the top of your calf.

Hello,This item is based off the knee circumference. You would measure the knee by standing and bending your leg just less than 45 degrees. Be sure to measure around the largest part of the knee, directly over the knee cap. Here are the sizes:Small 12-14"Medium 14-15"Large 15-17"X-Large 17-20"XX-Large 20-22"MMAR Sports Medicine

I measured at the middle of the kneecap and around the knee. Per the knee measurement and my weight the XXL was my size. It fits good. Just right. Not too tight. Just the right amount of compression. The more you wear the brace, the more the bamboo seems to retain the natural bend of the knee. I've found the brace stays up better for me if I pull it up a bit farther than the picture shows. Hope it works well for you. DRA

I weigh 220 and am comfortable on the bike. I enjoyed the bike the little I was able to use it prior to knee surgery and hope to be able to use it again soon! Hope that helps!

I am 5.8 155 lbs. it fit perfect. But!! If you plan on landing on your knees don't get them. I had real bad knee pain. I had to get ones with more padding. I am 36 now. So maybe thats why. But im still very active

The measurements shown in the answers (below) are accurate. However, measure ABOVE your knee to the approximate place the top of the brace will sit, then order accordingly. I have the XL and it is a good fit. Secure, but not tight, and will not slip down. If that portion of your leg is larger, and you only buy the size that corresponds to the measurement around your actual knee, it will be way too tight and very uncomfortable.

Run a search for Pro-Tec Knee Strap on line, like Google. It will tell you to measure around your knee, under the knee cap. The instructions will tell you what size to order per your measurement.

If you scroll down to the product description the sizing is listed there. you have to measure your leg above your knee. The sizing is very accurate as I need an XL and if fit perfect. I highly recommend these braces.

My calf is almost 13 at the largest point but it doesn't go down that far, knee is 14 and I got a small. It's tight..but it's supposed to be. They loosen up over time but not much.

I got the XL for a 17 inch calf and it feels great. I would go by that measurement to decide.

I really didn't for sure. I measured my knee but that really wasnt a help. In the end I just guessed.
