Hello,
I currently have a patient who is 2 years post op, age 59 ht 6' 2 wt 214.
He has not worn a prosthesis in the past. He is able to hop with a walker.
The hemipelvectomy was secondary to sarcoma, he has no other medical
complications. He is interested in being fit with a prosthesis and is willing
to take P.T.. His goals are to become an independent community ambulator and
to play golf. I've researched articles etc., buteverything that I have found
is very old. Any suggestions on where I can obtain currentl literature or
ideas on what would be in this patient's best interest?
Thank you in advance,
Carrie Melton CP
