Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q. Before my amputation, I was a pretty active person! Now I feel like my prosthesis is holding me back. Do you have any suggestions?
A. We specialize in prosthetic design for active amputees. We provide prosthetic care for clients of all levels of ability and activity, but if you are an active amputee and need a prosthetic design that will perform at a level, which you have not yet experienced, consider calling us for a free consultation.


Q. It sounds like there may be some advantages to the Ertl bone bridge, but I can't find a physician in my area that knows about the surgery. Do you have any suggestions?
A. Mr. Pinkston has experienced a number of clients that travel across the county in their search to find someone to perform their Ertl bone bridge. If you are interested in this procedure and you would like to find out more, it would be our pleasure to discuss some possible options.


Q. I have read about the Ertl and heard it may be something to consider, but I've never really met anyone that actually has a bone bridge. I sure would like to talk to someone that has had this procedure done. How do I find such a person?
A. Most people who have had an Ertl bone bridge become passionate about sharing their good fortune. Mr. Pinkston has had over 40 documented clients in the past 2 years that he has helped with their pre and post operative prosthetic management of reconstructive procedure. Most of these recipients would be glad to share there experience with anyone who would care to meet such a recipient.


Q. I have a friend that is having a terrible time with their prosthesis. Their biggest problem is they don't have any insurance to pay for a new one. Can you help?
A. Well, maybe we can! Not everyone can afford to have the most expensive prosthesis, but it is our opinion, every amputee should have options to obtain a comfortable, functional prosthesis. If you, or someone you know, needs a prosthesis but feels they can not afford one because of their lack of insurance, we would be glad to discuss some possible options that may help.
