Greeting All,
I am working with a 41 year old female who presents as a KD. Femoral-tibial
fusion at age 10 to create the residual limb. The “hip joint” is comprised
of a pseudo-acetabulum between the pelvis and femur. All bones are
malformed but patient is quite functional and ambulates unassisted,
exercises, etc. My question is what is the long term prognosis? What
efforts should be taken now to maintain her functional level 20 years from
now?
Thanks David CP
PFFD with pseudo-acetabulum
