Dear OandP list,
I am working with a 7 year old congenital amputee that weighs 56lbs. She
likes to frequent the sandbox and care for the prosthesis is not ideal. She
is currently using the ST&G Pediatric 4 bar knee
http://www.stngco.com/Pages/Knee_Hip/Pediatric_4BarKnee_for_AKandKD.html and
durability has been an issue. I have looked at a few alternative knees such
as the Ossur Pediatric total knee but would like your feedback based on
which knees have been durable and easy for the child to use properly. Thank
you in advance for your input. I will post replies back to the list.
