I hope he uses it as little as possible for now. The less he wears it, the better his knee will heal.ralexand said:

Form what I heard, using a brace too much is a bad thing.

Exactamundo! Regardless of any region of the body. The more mobility during the healing process, the less scar tissue, which is paramount in his case. Too much scar tissue weakens soft tissue, and can also lead to chronic pain syndromes.Silverphin said:

first off after a major knee injury - i would have him wear a brace forever -- in the qb position -- soo jason8er where did you get the info about a brace leading to more scar tissue -- by the time you put a brace on - scar tissue buildup is almost minimal and you are in the time frame to where scar tissue is finally breaking down. The brace provides stability -- and acts like his ligaments. what more could you want. We have all of our lineman wear braces even if they have no knee issues. we ask that our qb wears a brace too.

The more time goes by the more we learn about what heals the body. Look at the advances in medicine in just the last ten years. I'm sure if he's not wearing the brace, it's under the advice of the Dolphins medical staff.

A brace equals limited ROM/mobility. In that situation, collagen fibers do not lay down properly. Numerous studies show that. With increased mobility, collegen lays down as it should...resembling a brick wall, in layers or nice neat rows. When you take away mobility during that process, collagen resembles a pile of tooth picks laying hap-hazzardly over one another. In that state, it has no strength and the spaces fill in with scar tissue and a whole lot more free nerve endings which often leads to chronic pain.FinFanGirl said:

The brace is there to protect a less than 100% knee. Having it off could be beneficial (in a sense of strengthening it) or it could turn out bad (injury) . Hindsight will be 20/20 on this.

and i dont disagree with the dolphins training staff -- although this is probably dr james andrews decision and not the training staff. I'm just saying a brace increases the chances of stabilization during a hit or a cut and lessens the likelyhood of a retearing of the ligaments.
Also, if you didnt notice - most Qb's wear a brace on their plant legs anyway. See dan marino who wore a brace for most of his career. Even steve young wore a brace.
