I am looking for experiences of colleagues in fitting a removable BK joint and lacer setup on a very short supracondylar prosthesis. Patient is very functional indoors without lacer but needs it for hiking and other outdoor activities. Very short BK, large thigh, short stature female. I tried a shell with joint lowers attached but haven't found a way to make it easily donned to the socket and located accurately and securely. Any ideas?
