270 lb. active hip disarticulation patient. Needing options for hip joint. Every one I've seen has a weight limit up to 220 lbs. Otto Bock does have a new one out with a weight limit of 275 lbs, which would fit the bill, but I just want to see what other options there are, if any. Responses will follow.
 
Thank you in advance,
 
Paul Rieth, CPO
