Thanks to all who resonded to my post regarding potential braces to manage a new BK amputee with a long-standing (pre-amp) knee flexion contracture with significant eschar on his anterior tib.


Several people suggested Empi, ultraflex, and KMO knee braces as well as analogs from Leeder and RCAI.


Of course others suggested, rigid dressings and custom devices including the use of ultraflex joints and monodos hinges.
