My name is Eileen Gemmell and I am a Prosthetist at Stanmore DSC London. I
have a couple of questions concerning product information and was hoping
someone out there may be able to help.
I have an active patient who currently wears a Metal No2 and a metal No8 and
who has worn through the polycentric knee joints and ball bearing hip joint
on each limb he has. My problem being I cannot find a supplier who make
polycentric knee joints for the metal No8(Otto Bock joints are not strong
enough) and I also cannot find anyone who makes the same type of hip joint
which I have been told is similar to a Sergeant Roy hip but with ball
bearings. The male and female stems are much thicker(beefier) than a normal
hip. I would be grateful if anyone had any information on either of these
as Vessa do not supply these joints anymore.
Regards,
Eileen Gemmell CPO
