Hi all,
I've got a large gentleman (331lbs) that had a difficult TKR which left
him with knee extension weakness from -40 to 0 and general knee
instability. Physician has written for KAFO/KO locking with extension
assist. His weight is an issue for most of the new components. Anyone
have suggestions for a knee joint that meets this criteria? I'm
thinking posterior offset with extension assist but would like the
option to lock if available..
Thanks in advance and I'd be happy to post responses.
