Hello

I had a woman visit my office the other day. She has a 24 year old male
relative who recently underwent a BKA secondary to trauma. This young man
wants to travel to the USA for the most technically advanced prostheis
available. However, it seemed to me that it might be possible to for him to
find a reputable provided closer to home, for long term care. Does anyone
know of such a facility? He lives in Cordoba, Cordoba, Argentina.

I look forward to any response.
