I have a patient with a painful kneecap that slides all over the place -
thus the need for a full patella stabilizer (not a one-sided buttress). She
cannot tolerate a slide-on brace and needs a wraparound design. Usually
you'd think this would be a posterior closure to accommodate for the
patella stabilization, but I'm open to anything at this point. Needs to
have hinges. The brace I ordered, 3630HPC-S (Hely & Weber Hinged
Patella Stabilizer Uni T Buttress Posterior Closure SM), is
permanently discontinued and none of the suppliers seem to have one in
stock. Does anyone know of a suitable substitute?
