Four Quarter Amputation Info Needed
Text:
Dear List:
I have a friend - 34 year old Female who will have a Four-Quarter amputation
next week. She has a few questions regarding prosthetic options.
What type of prosthesis is used most often- functional or passive/cosmetic
only?
do you have any patients amputated at this level who are successfully using a
functional prosthesis?
What are the special consideration when casting/fabricating/fitting a
Four-Quarter patient?
Also if you have a patient who would be willing to speak to this nice lady it
would be much appreciated.
Responses compiled will be posted with first name and credentials only.
Thanks,
Jack Richmond, Fillauer Inc.
