Hello to all the metal benders, brace makers, and shoe guys!
Looking for a prefab KO for an active 90yo female with possible hardware failure of right TKA (over 20 years ago). Bulbous knee with small calf...has to be, right? Needing wraparound style, lightweight, polycentric hinges, etc. Ambulates well with a rollator...experiencing pain during midstance. Not a surgical candidate...physician and PT would like something to stabilize the joint.
Thigh - 46cmKnee - 43cmCalf - 34cm
Custom is still an option, but looking for a quick solution if there is one.Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
