Hello,
I am looking for some suggestions. I have a younger patient who is having spina bifida , he can walk but his Lt Lower Limb is completely senceless ,he is also having dislocated Lt Hip with 11 cm shortning and is currently wearing a Thomas Splint for unloading of Hip , he is also havin non healable wound in his Lt Heel The doctors refused for total Hip replacement and advised such an orthosis to releive Hip and Heel as well .He would really like to try something more comfortable because he doesn,t like the cosmesis of thomas splint . any suggestion in this regard would be appreciated.
Thanx in advance
