Most experienced and knowledgeable prosthetists and surgeons, will recognize
a minimum credit of 50% to the surgery procedure factor in the determination
of obtaining a 100% goal to total prosthetic rehabilitation.
You may find it interesting, that no less than five amputees, featured in
recent national O&P magazines or whom are representing several of the major
international prosthetic component manufactures in full page advertisements,
are not only manufacture representatives but, Ertl recipients as well !!!
They have all been recently featured in advertisements or in feature stories
of several editions of the O&P media publications. ALL happen to be
recipients of the Ertl Osteomyoplastic Amputation Procedure :
Why does not the manufactures expose and promote in the advertisements and
features stories of these Super Amps, that proper amputation surgery can
better assure proper and full prosthetic rehabilitation ??

Navy Seals returning to active duty after receiving an Ertl amputations,
football players returning to the game, kickboxers and bicyclists compete
professionally, stuntmen, and everyday people becoming Whole Again.
Coincidence ??
Why is the Ertl not being accepted as a viable option to amputation surgery?
I’d be interested to the subscribers comments and experiences.
