I am working with a family and the ten year old son who is a right trans femoral amputee. I am looking to find a durable fluid control knee. He has already been through a number of knees with none of them holding up past 4 or 5 months without needing replaced. Some of these knees were:
Ohio Willow Wood, pendulum Jr.
Otto Bock, 3R-65
Century , pediatric total knee
This kid is very hard on the prosthesis by just being a kid. He roller blades, bikes, school sports. What seems to be the most destructive to the knees is his love for playing in the mud.
I am looking at replacing the knee again and would like your suggestions. I am looking at the USMC Mini Max knee as a possible choice, Have any of you used this knee?
