Hi all.

Has anyone successfully used Ossur Seal in liner on a true knee
disartic patient? I have tall patient, about 6'3'', with partial patella
in place and femoral condyles of proportionate size.
  Limb is accordingly atrophied for a 5 yo amputation and several socket
changes, meaning - it's recessed supracondylar.
That's why I am concerned about seal in the liner. Considering making
him a short filler inner sleeve out of Pelite or such, to keep his
limb more conical inside the liner.


Thank you
