I am looking for suggestions to help a 67 YOF with bilateral knee instability in A-P, M-L, and rotary planes. She has received and rejected even the lightest ACL KO's over the years. My recommendation was to fit her with a wrap-around KO with contoured hinges. Her activity level is low enough to benefit from the less controlling orthoses and high enough to need external support. The problem is that she is allergic to neoprene, latex, and nylon. Please forward suggestions for knee orthoses (over-the-counter or custom) that do not contain neoprene, latex, or nylon.
Thanks in advance,
