Must-have for knee replacement surgery
This is totally worth buying. It was so easy to keep my leg elevated and straight and it helped me be more comfortable. The first 10 days after surgery were very painful, and elevating helped to minimize the pain and swelling. I was also able to sleep pretty well. I read a great review that suggested using a mini crib sheet to wrap the knee buddy so it won't come apart. It worked like a charm.

Essential recovery aid for total knee replacement
There are numerous knee support devices available online, but this is the only one I could find that offers 0° of flexion when your leg is elevated. Most of them have a slight bend behind the knee, which is absolutely contraindicated after a total knee replacement.Doctors recommend sleeping with your leg elevated on pillows under the ankle, and without anything behind your knee. This full leg pillow does the exactly the job, but with a lot more comfort. My physical therapist said hospitals should be discharging patients with these pillows.I’ve read complaints about the fact that it’s in two parts and sometimes comes apart. Just buy a crib sheet and that will keep the entire pillow together while you sleep (and is washable). Your physical therapist will have you use the ankle support separately for other extension exercises (which are ouch!)I’m 10 days post-TKR, and it’s a painful recovery, but at least this pillow makes sleeping a bit more comfortable. I know it’s expensive but do yourself a favor, it’s hard enough getting through a TKR - take advantage of all the available props and aids, and this, in my opinion, is an essential one.I still think it’s overly priced for a big piece of foam. I wish other companies would get on the bandwagon so they could bring the prices down with a bit of healthy competition :-/ but c’est la vie…

Only thing that brought pain-free elevation after knee surgery!!!
This was the only thing that brought me comfort when elevating my leg after acl + meniscus surgery. Regular pillows wouldn't have the rught tension and would move or fall as I slept which was not at all comfortable for my knee, especially in the brace and so fresh from surgery.I definitely recommend getting this and using it to elevate right away. It is more expensive but you will use it months into recovery when elevating as swelling will still be present until walking or off crutches and out the brace again. I imagine it would be just as helpful for TKR or any other knee surgery.

Exactly what we were looking for
Only product I was able to find with zero flex in the knee when elevated. This makes it easier for my wife after knee replacement surgery. She can elevate her entire leg or use the smaller section to elevate her foot to work on straightening her knee to full extension. Highly recommend for anyone who will have knee replacement surgery.

Don't even think of spending this much money on this product.
We bought this foam wedge for my husband's knee replacement surgery. We are very sorry we spent the money. This is nothing but cheap foam. The two pieces are like jigsaw puzzle pieces but come apart every time he moves. We tried duct taping it together but the tape won't stick to the foam. Even if it stayed together, it would not be worth $100+. The shape and idea are very good, the hight of elevation is very good but the product itself is just not made well and would. be worth 100 bucks even if it was. We fell for it. Hope you don't. There must be better ones out there for far less money.
