Interesting case for everyone. Would appreciate any suggestions. A
collegue of mine sees a recent TF amputee. This gentleman previously
underwent a fem-ant tib bypass with a composite graft. Subsuquent occlusion
required a TFA. He was fit with a Ossur Seal In tf liner. Did great for a
couple of weeks in rehab. His limb shrunk and the graft became quite
superficial and easily palpable. Now even donning the liner is torture.
The liner was ditched and a sock fit with a belt was tried but provided no
significant relief. Any suggestions to keep pressure (which I assume causes
the pain) off the graft. Socket reliefs alone have not cut it so far. paul
