I have been approached by an Orthopod to provide an unloader knee for an extreme valgus.
I'm reluctant to provide a simple unloader such as a Ossur unloader one
I feel patient would benefit better from custom kafo, lateral upright locked or pull strap so migration won't happen and give the knee more support
Valgus angle is about 40 degees
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated
