I have a young (38yrs old) trans-femoral amputee who is a perfect candidate for a c-leg. My question is how to you justify getting a c-leg for a first time amputee? This patient 8 weeks post-op is completely healed and ready to begin prosthetic use. Her occupation for the past 5 years has been a nurse, and she just started work again full time (wheelchair). I feel that this individual would benefit from a c-leg, but I am not sure if there is justification for a amputee who never used a prosthesis before?
Thank you,
Jason
