Dear Colleagues:
     I've been referred a 9 year old patient who has recently undergone a Van
Ness Rotation Osteotomy procedure subsequent to a resection of a distal
femoral tumor. She is two days post-op, neurologically intact, tibial
fixation to remnant femur with plate and screws, no other health problems. I
have not yet had an opportunity to fit anyone with this type of amputation
and would welcome any input from experienced individuals regarding fitting
options.
     We expect to begin prosthetic care within 6 weeks. Please reply to me
directly; anyone interested in responses I receive may request forwarding.
Thank you,
Barry Steineman, CPO
