Orthosis for tibail stress fracture

KWAN Hung-hei

Hello everybody,

I am a Certified Prosthetist-Orthotist in Hong Kong. May I have your

assistance on the captioned orthosis. I’ve got a patient with a stress

fracture on her mid tibial shaft. She is a athlete suffering from this

fracture for almost a year. She stopped vigorous exercise recently

waiting for the heal up. Her surgeon told me that he had read from an

article sometime ago talking about an air-orthosis for this kind of

fracture. Unfortunately he forgot most part of the article. I have no

idea on the orthosis: function, effectiveness, indications and

contra-indications, where to buy etc.. Your assistance is much

appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.
