You can use both or just the immobilizer. It depends on what your doctor recommends and your pain level. Usually, you drop the crutches after a short period of time. But, you would still need the immobilizer for the healing process.

I have worn one yes. I was not in need of crutches with it. The immobilizer supported my knee to the point I didnt need crutches.

I had to use both, I tore my ACL in my knee, I had to work in the immbolizer. When I first tore it I had it on and had to use crutchs till I could stand to walk in it.
