Does anyone have any experience with the gaffney hinge clips disengaging from the rod? I've come across 3 occurrences of this in the past month. I've talked to my central fab regarding the issue without resolution. The main reason I see this happening is if the joints weren't squared up in fabrication. These are low to moderate level ambulators with m/l instability in ankle/foot. Thanks for any input.
