Prosthetic knee opinions

Prosthetic knee opinions

Vincent Gest

10/11/2005

Looking for some opinions:

Patient:
Very fit and active late 20's male.
Knee disarticulation amputee.
5'7 160lbs
This will be his first prosthesis, but no doubt he will be a very adept and
active prosthetic user.

I am considering using the Otto Bock 3R46 because of my experience with it
and the ability to attach a 3R40 torsion adapter directly under the knee
unit. Though I've never had any problems with them, I've heard some concerns
about the 3R46 leaking.

Any other preferences you'd recommend?

Thanks, Vince
