Authors:
Michael S. Bradford, MD; Wayne G. Paprosky, MD, FACS
Subject: This article presents OrthomericaÕs Orlando®
HKAFO (Hip-Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis) as the orthosis of choice in

procedure can be obtained before the procedure. (This article presents
the results of patients wearing the Orthomerica HKAFO.)
