I have been working with a gentleman in his early 70’s who is a short
BKA with a 45 degree knee flexion contracture. I have offered to fit
him with a bent knee prosthesis but he does not want this.
The gentleman’s surgen has recommended a transfemoral amputation, I
recommended he do a knee disarticulation instead. The surgen is
unfamiliar with prosthetic intervention at this level and has asked for
any information I have related to knee disarticulation prosthetic
fitting.
Does anyone know of any articles related to the knee disarticulation?
Thank you,
Tom Current, CP
