Hi-
I have a patient who is a 5 year old congenital amputee with a LLD of 5cm.
They currently use the Bock pediatric Chopart foot.
This is a great foot, however, the patient has broken a few and is looking
for alternatives. Is there anything out there that uses a
pyramid coupling system?
Bock has the 1E79 SL Profile foot for Children, however, I need a 14cm foot
and the smallest size is 19 cm.
<URL Redacted> (page 10).
Also, I am looking for something that will work with the Bock 4R110
Lamination Anchor (or similar) which is fairly low profile (3.5cm)
<URL Redacted> (page 14).
Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated. I will post replies.
Thanks - Jeremiah Uronis, CPO
