Hello everyone,
I have a patient that is an MRI technician and for return to work he will
need MRI safe components. He brought in a magnet to test some of the items
and he said the screws will not be approved. I have looked at getting
titanium screws, has anyone ever used them and found a place without a huge
order needing to be placed? We could do an exo style but this will be the
first prosthesis and he will most likely require some alignment changes
over time. Foot options are going to be limited as well.
I am open to other ideas from you as well.
Thanks for your help!
