- Measuring and marking
A. Mark the patient's leg at mid-patella.
B. Measure and mark 3, 6 and 8 inches above and below mid-patella.
C. With the ankle held at 90 degrees, record the circumference in centimeters at each of the marked points on the CCS patient information form.
Tracing
A. Center the patient's leg with mid-patella mark on line 5 of the tracing board (you can use the centerline on the tracing tube to help align the mid-patella directly on line 5).
Note: If the patient has excessive tissue, use the knee center block to raise the knee off the board. This helps to maintain a proper profile of the leg.
B. At the top of the board, hold the base of the tracing device flat on the board with the pen tip facing the leg. Keep in light contact with the leg while tracing the profile down to the bottom of the board.
C. Without moving the leg, repeat on the other side.
- Recording coordinates
A. On the CCS patient information form, record the number where the tracing line intersects at each of the nine coordinate lines for sides A and B.
Place order
A. Complete the Ossur order form.
C. Fax Ossur order forms to +888 218 9491.
