I was just introduced to a patient who has a mid-tibial BKA secondary to
complications with Diabetes, 34 y.o., and approximately 450 lbs. I am asking for
any suggestions for components for this gentleman. I anticipate a fairly low
activity level, but weight alone will stress most systems beyond their
capabilities. Thanks in advance for any info you can share.
