My original post first followed by responses separated with stars:
I am responding to your query regarding weight-bearing orthoses. The
last time I used a Quad Brim ischial weight-bearing KAFO was in 1985.
Shortly after that I developed a narrow M-L ischial containment design
that has worked quite well. I am able to unload 100% of the skeletal
load through the leg. It is well received by patients. I have used this
for femoral fractures, tibial fractures, and knee derangement. I have
reprints of the article published in CPO and would be happy to send a
copy to you if you wish. [JPO, vol 2, #1, pp 82-93.]hpp
