I have a patient who works where he is in a restaurant freezer doing
inventory 15 hours per week. The temp is -32 degrees. He wears a
mauch SNS. The bearings blew out due to the severe temperatures. We
are also concerned for the seals in the hydraulic unit. He is a very
active guy. Does anyone have any suggestions for a high activity
knee that won't be affected by sub zero temperatures?
Thank you,
