Hi List,

We have a patient that has been wearing New Options K15 patella stabilizers for ten years (provided by another company).  She came in to have them replaced.  She can't fit into the XXXL or XXXXL and does not want to pay to have custom K15's made.  Her center knee measurements are 21 1/2 and 21 1/4.  Four inches below knee center are 21 1/2 and 20 3/4.  Her thighs are not a problem, it is the calf measurements. She does not want a hinge.  Her insurance does not cover neoprene braces so she is paying out of pocket.  Anyone have suggestions? 

Thanks,
