Hi List,
I have a medicare patient who is 6 months status post revision right total knee replacement. He is 350 lbs. Occasionally his knee goes out due to instability. The doctor has ordered a custom knee brace, but I doubt Medicare will cover it. Do you have any off the shelf suggestions? His weight is obviously a factor.
Thanks,
