Dear List,
I've always been under the Impression that a temporary Prosthesis (and all
its components)is property of the amputee.
and
When a Definitive prosthesis is made all new componentry (knee, foot etc.)
is placed on a new socket and the amputee can then due whatever they want
with the temporary leg (stick it in the closet).
Am I mistaken, is a temporary prosthesis property of the facility who fabricated
it??????
Does this differ depending on the insurance a patient has?????
thanks in advance
