Dear list
Happy new year to you .
I have an one year old PFFD ( proximal focal femoral deficiency ) female patient with about 11cm of R leg length discrepancy and hip flexion contracture of about 90 degrees in right side that could passively be corrected to 45 degrees manually .
The R femur has about 30% length of L femur , when standing upright on sound leg the sole of R foot stands at level of L knee .
The knee in affected side also seems to have a bit flexion contracture , femoral head is smaller than sound side and isn,t located in the acetabulum .
Physician has prescribed extension prosthesis for her and I like to make a Moseley design device ( <URL Redacted> )for her .
The question is that should I manually correct hip flexion contracture when casting ischial region or not ?
Your input is appriciated .
Sincerely & regards
