Good afternoon all,
I have been looking for a certain joint and had several responses, thanks to all that did respond. I am now certain that this joint is unavailable and I am on the search for a knee joint that has a drop lock. When the lock is engaged the joint needs to allow 0 - 45 degrees range of motion and then when unlocked allow free motion of the knee joint. I have searched high and low for this and followed several leads but all of them will allow range of motion to be locked at 45 degrees but not allow the 0-45 degrees of motion needed for this patient.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
