Original question:
Hi,
I'm currently working with a lady that has a KD from 1997. The patient
currently has the DAW KD polycentric knee and is wanting to move into
newer technology. What newer types of knees are out there and have you
had the chance to utilize the recommendation? I've also explained to the
patient that the knee center will never be the correct height on an
endoskeletal prosthesis so maybe some other type knees that have a
somewhat closer KC.
Thanks in advance,
