Single Leg Knee Brace Fixed Angle
🐾 Maximum Joint Protection for Serious Knee Injuries
When your dog has a severe ACL tear, cruciate ligament injury, or is recovering from knee surgery, ordinary braces don't cut it. The Single Leg Knee Brace Fixed Angle is the only brace in our lineup with a precision angle-locking dial — letting you set the exact degree of flexion your dog needs and lock it there, preventing any unwanted joint movement during recovery.

🩺 Who Is This Brace For?
This brace is for dogs with one rear leg that has a serious knee injury — a complete or near-complete ACL/CCL tear, severe cruciate ligament damage, or significant instability that requires the joint to be held at a fixed position rather than allowed to move freely.
-
The key feature that sets this brace apart is the red precision locking dial. Most braces use flexible stays or free-moving hinges that support the joint while still allowing natural movement. The Fixed Angle brace works differently: you set the exact angle of flexion your dog needs, and the dial locks the joint there. The knee cannot bend beyond that point during activity.
-
If your dog's injury is mild to moderate, or they need support during normal daily movement, one of our other braces is likely a better fit. Our complete knee brace guide explains the difference.
⭐ Why This Brace
🔒 Precision Angle-Locking Dial
Set the exact degree of flexion and lock it in place. The joint cannot move beyond the set limit during activity — providing maximum protection where free movement would cause further damage.
🦴 Removable Rigid Metal Support Plate
A >-shaped metal plate reinforces the outside of the knee, preventing lateral collapse. Fully removable for cleaning, or to gradually reduce support as recovery progresses.
🪢 Collar and Connecting Strap System
Anchors the brace from above, keeping it firmly in position without slipping during movement — so your dog gets consistent support throughout the day.
🧵 Breathable Neoprene Construction
Lightweight and comfortable for daily wear without causing skin irritation or overheating.
↔️ Left or Right Leg
Available in both versions. Choose the leg that needs support when ordering.
✅ Ideal For
- Complete or partial ACL / CCL tears (one rear leg)
- Severe cruciate ligament injuries
- Significant knee instability or rear leg lameness
- Pre-surgery joint protection — limiting movement while awaiting surgery
- Post-surgical recovery — controlling range of motion during rehabilitation
- Patella luxation with serious instability
- Large breed dogs requiring single-leg support (Size L and XL)
🔧 How the Locking Dial Works
The red dial on the hinge stabilizer allows you to adjust the joint angle in precise increments. Set the angle to match your vet's recommendation, then lock the dial. Once locked, the brace holds the knee at exactly that position and will not flex beyond it during walking or activity.
As your dog progresses through recovery, the dial can be unlocked, adjusted to allow a wider range of motion, and re-locked. Many owners start with a tighter restriction in the early stages and gradually open the angle as healing progresses. Always follow your veterinarian's guidance on when and how to adjust.
📏 Size Guide
Measure your dog while they are standing. You will need two measurements:
- Waist — circumference around the waist, just in front of the hind legs
- Upper Thigh Circle — circumference around the upper thigh of the affected leg
If your dog falls between sizes, size up. If you're unsure, contact us with your measurements and we'll confirm the right size before you order.
🧼 First Time Wearing
Start with 5–10 minutes per session. Increase gradually over 7 days. Use treats and praise to build a positive association. Most dogs adapt within 2–3 days.
-
Remove the brace at night and during crate time to let the skin breathe. If you are using this brace pre- or post-surgery, always follow your veterinarian's specific instructions on wear duration and activity restriction.

Great brace. Does what it is intended for. My dog suffers with luxating patella and this has been great for preventing the need for surgical intervention.
High quality! My senior dog has a torn ACL and this has offered him better stability and mobility.
My dog tore her ccl and has been limping after getting her this brace she has been willing to walk more and not limping as much. It is a great fit and does not rub as much as past braces have.
This brace worked very well in restoring my dogs confidence and weight distribution when she is walking. Within a few days she was used to wearing it, and it provided much needed support on her bad knee. Product is comfortable and durable. Highly recommend this to anyone with dogs that have sore knees!
Was a bit of a learning curve for my dog but it seems to be helping. She has a partial acl tear at almost 12 years old so we needed to give her a little stability.
My 5 year old Goldendoodle suffers from a torn acl and he has been wearing this device for some weeks now and I’m slow but surely seeing improvement in his left leg thanks to this device.
We got her 2 knee braces and this one is good for walks and playing outside as it stablizes her knee
Good brace does exactly as described. Size is true as long as you measure correctly.
Ordered a 2nd brace and the quality was improved. The back strap is now a buckle vs Velcro so will last a long time. I could have dropped a size either way the new design. Very happy with the support that enables me to walk my dog with the brace while his torn ACL heals.
The brace fit good and did a really good job at staying in place. I had bought a different one at first but it would never stay up but having the collar in addition to the Velcro on this brace helped a lot and the fabric is way better quality.
I liked the collar that went around the neck to keep it pulled up. The adjustment for flexion and extension took a little getting used to but it worked well. However, my vet stated for a torn ACL it does not need to be a mobilized after surgery. They actually want them to walk on it and start rehabbing right away. If I need this down the road I will definitely use it.
My dog hurt his rear leg somehow and had a terrible limp. Thought we'd try this to see if it would improve before we went to the vet. He couldn't put any weight on his leg, but immediately after putting this on he was able to walk and with daily wear it definitely sped up the healing process! I love the ability to adjust the angle of the support for a perfect fit. Saved us hefty vet bills! Definitely recommend.
The product worked well, my bulldog seemed to hate it, but it did allow her to move around better after tearing her acl. She just doesn't like having it on her leg. Hoping she adjusts to it because it really is allowing her to move better.
Our fur baby tore his ACL and they wanted almost 300 for a fitted brace. This one has been working well for him. He is able to put more weight on his leg while it is healing. He is able to move comfortably and this was definitely more affordable!
My dog tore his CCL, and his heart is not strong enough to have a surgery, so we tried this. While not perfect, it is definitely helpful. You can lock it into place so that it doesn’t rotate, which is helpful.
Our lab was diagnosed with a torn ccl. The vet referred us to a surgeon who told us the cost would be between $4-6k. I read a large percentage tear the other leg after surgery because of the heavy use while the other one is healing. We were seeking an alternative and read about trying a leg brace. we ordered this one and was impressed by the sturdiness and quality. So far so good. I believe this just may work along with supplements and restricting his activity.
Bought this after my dog tore her ACL. She’s 100lbs and I got the large which seems to fit just fine. I was afraid it was too small at first but seems to have stretched out a tad so it fits fine. Hasn’t stretched out in a bad way at all. I can definitely notice a difference in how my dog walks and how much she uses the leg when the brace is on. She seems much more at ease with the brace on. It doesn’t seem to bother her at all when it’s on and I’ve never seen her trying to chew at it or anything like it could be bothering her. It does seem to slide down on her leg when she lays down, but I can’t imagine that’s a problem bc she’s not using the leg and it pulls back up to where it should when she stands up. Definitely a great purchase! I had looked at similar ones more expensive and don’t feel they would have helped any more than this one.
I am absolutely thrilled with the Adjustable Dog Knee Brace! My poor pup had been struggling with knee issues, and I was desperate to find a solution. This brace has been a total lifesaver!
The quality is top-notch, and the adjustable design makes it easy to get a comfortable, secure fit. The extra collar is a great bonus - it provides extra support and stability. My dog seems to feel more confident and comfortable when wearing it.
I've noticed a significant improvement in my dog's mobility and overall comfort level since starting to use the brace. It's clear that it's providing the support and stability they need.
I would highly recommend the CHAMIN/RISURRY Adjustable Dog Knee Brace to anyone whose furry friend is struggling with knee issues. It's worth every penny!
Helpful features:
Adjustable design for a comfortable, secure fit
Extra collar for added support and stability
High-quality materials for durability and comfort
We bought this brace for our 105 lb Rottweiler because she tore her CCL(ACL)
and we are Leary about surgery, not only because of the cost but because in due time they would eventually heal and there own scare tissue takes over. Once you figure out how to put it on. It's very easy to take on and off. We just don't undo the top velcro only the bottom.
So we bought this hoping to see if it would help stabilize her. And limit her movement.
I and will say that it definitely does work, once you do a little digging on figuring out what to set the Flex and Ext at.
The thing I wish was bigger was the strap that goes around there stomach. We had to make it as big as possible and it works but I wish it was like 2 inches bigger so you could have a little more play room.
The only bad thing we have experienced with this. Is our dog got an ouchy on the back of her leg where the bottom strap velcrows. I think a combination of her licking it but rubbing on her caused a 'Hot spot" broken skin part.
So we just wrap it with a bandage and then but the brace on.
So is this a great investment. Yes I truly feel it helped our baby Lucy A LOT!! And it does have it pro's and con's. But I truly feel it is helping her.
This brace has helped our little old lady so much! She has a knee injury that requires surgery but is too old to have surgery at this point so we wanted something to help for her remaining time with us. It took her a few days to get used to it but shes doing great with it now!
This has been the perfect brace for my pup. She tore her ACL and is scheduled for surgery, and she's wearing this in the meantime. There's a little foam piece to help them not chafe around their other leg. She seems fairly comfortable wearing it. I was able to not use the collar part and just the long strap that goes up the back to connect to her normal collar. She did well without the back strap as well, but I still keep using it so it doesn't fall off. Highly recommend. For size reference, my dog is 37lbs and wearing a size medium.
My dogs chiropractor approved this brace because my boxer dog tore her "acl". It seems to be comfortable for her and he said it was a great brace! It seems to aid her and hope she heals well.
My fur baby is 12 years old and injured his back right leg. He was having a hard time getting up and walking up and down stairs. I decided to purchase this brace for him and give it a try. Let me tell you it did wonders for our fur baby. He was able to walk up and down stairs and run again. It gives him the support he needs especially with the straps that wrap arpund his waist helping him hold his back leg up.
