I am hoping this request will reach those of you who have patients in the
farming community. I have a patient of average height and weight, who is a
crop farmer. He presents with a knee disarticulation. We are starting to
discuss beginning a new prosthesis and options for knee units. It is
difficult for the patient to get into the office due to his busy
schedule, so he generally is opposed to any component that is considered
high maintenance He has been pleased with his current polycentric
friction knee, as it has been quite durable and dependable over the past 5
years. He would like the option to lock out the knee when completing
certain tasks on the farm. I'm looking for any feedback, both positive or
negative, on knees you have used on a patient with this level of activity.
Thanks in advance
