I hav an elderly patient that has been in a c-leg compact for 5 years. She
is need of a replacement prosthesis at this time. Unfortunately she is not
as mobile as she was 5 years ago and probably would not qualify as a K-3.
She is extremely functional with her knee unit and I would like to keep her
MPC. Do I need to re-establish medical justification to replace a
prosthesis as is?
