I would like to thank the Florida Association of Orthotists and Prosthetists membership for a terrific and informative meeting this year.
I would also like to provide special recognition to FAOP's wisdom in scheduling Dr.Jan Ertl's and Dr. John Bowker's surgical presentations.
The film titled, The Ertl Procedure: Beyond the Bridge which the Barr Foundation has produced, is nearly completed along with a promotional film of the Barr Foundation.
The worldwide distribution of this film, to orthopedic and vascular surgeons, teaching hospitals and medical universities and prosthetists, will hopefully provide this procedure to amputees as viable surgical option compared to the many whom have had , and who may have, the standard guillotine amputation procedure, which is often preformed .
Even though a medical doctor may write the prescription, it is the prosthetist professional whom is on the front lines and held responsible and accountable for properly fitting amputees regardless, of the condition of the residual limbs they are required to work with.
The Barr Foundation would like to help make your job a little easier!
We will let you know when the film is ready for distribution.
Thank you,
Tony Barr
