Hemipelvictomy without taking out the lower limb.

Hemipelvictomy without taking out the lower limb.

Carvalho, Mario

9/8/2010

Dear fellows ,

 

At the beggining of the year I´ve sent a request of advice on that case and
I would thank you if you can send it again , because it had disappeared and
now came back.Due to a virus I´ve lost your answers.

A 32 years old male , had an amputation due to a tumor but the surgeon left
the lower limb and tried to stabilish a pseudo artrosis of the hip and the
rest of the femur to try to stabilize.It worked on some extent but he wants
now an orthoses to increase the stability and my suggestion was an body
jacket with an unilateral RGO hip join attached to a KAFO with free ankle
joint and free knee joint because he has the control of the knee.He uses to
walk without nothing but the problem is the hip instability and pain.

Any suggestions or comments of past experiences?

I would like to thank you in advance.
