Hello.
I have a patient who is an 8 y/o female who has chronic bilateral patellar
dislocations, laterally. Appears to be a bony groove problem and the
surgeon does not wish to do surgery at this time. The Physical Therapist
has requested a strap with a butress to hold the patella in.
The patient has tried a neoprene sleeve, but had a bad skin reaction to
the neoprene.
My question:
Can anyone give me the name(s) of any other styles of knee sleeves
with patellar pads that are not neoprene(keeping in mind this is an 8 y/o,
so the sleev would have to be pretty small)
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
