We have a patient refered to us following three failed attempts at hip
replacement and a Girdle-Stone resection. The patient is 55 yr. old obese male
with pendulous and severly distended abdomen. There appears to be approx. two
inch leg length shortage.
His goals are to transfer more easily to bed and chairs and limited ambulation
with assistive device.
We are considering a KAFO w/ ischial contanment type of weight bearing socket
brim and would construct it so that a hip component may be added if necessary.
If any one has experience with cases like this and is willing to share any
tips, recommendations or suggestions we would greatly appreciate it.
