List,
I have been searching high and low for a infant or child size stainless
steel/aluminum knee joint that has free extension (180degree stop) with an
adjustable flexion stop. The best i have been able to come up with is an
ottobock 17k32. This would allow me to grind the joint head down in order to
stop @ 90 degrees but would not allow for future adjustments. I like the
design of the ottobock17k45 and the fillauer KCO straight uprights but i
fear they will be to large on an infant/child sized KAFO. Any ideas would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Lee Engel, CO
