I have a transtibial patient who has a knee contracture of 40 degree. Currently in outpatient PT 2x weekly and doing home exercise. We would like to couple the program with a custom Prosthosis but
- No L codes established for prosthetic knee contracture splint custom
I would like to know why, and what is the best way to address this problem?
This is a problem that is costing Medicare because the patient becomes sedentary deconditioned then debilitated. Attempts to correct biomechanical with a prosthetic are difficult
The field needs a pilot program with a study
