Ideas for outside hinge options/suppliers for a knee disarticulation? Available knee control options? Existing patient has a few extra inches of muscle flap on distal end, so the end of the residual limb actually extends out farther than the sound side knee in seated position. Patient complains of obvious length disproportion, getting in and out of vehicle, and rising to stand with arthritic sound side knee doing all the work with seal-in socket and total knee. Any endo options for outside hinges?? Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions!
