I am in the market for a pair of knee braces. I would like to find a set
of used CTI2 braces but would consider other brands. If you have or know
someone who has a pair they might want to part with please e-mail me.

Thanks,

The CTI braces are custom fit ! they will not fit your legs

Yeah, your right. I called the folks at CTI and they said they have CTI
off the shelf braces for $500 each and the custom fit braces for $900 each.
I thought I would ask around and chance finding a pair that fit while I am
recovering and before I dish out $1800 for knee braces. I guess it's a
bargin, my hospital bills are already over 40K.

Take it easy buddy,

I have a torn ACL (ligament in the center of your knee that helps w/
lateral movement). I did this while wearing CTi braces.
The braces will protect against hyperextension but there isn't much
any brace and do to help with twisting.
I've noticed that wearing boots hurts my knee more because the
ground is transferred past your ankle to your knee for twisting.
I've been riding w/ workboots (flat dirt road) to allow my ankle to
soak up as much ground as possible.
