John Michael's Corner Welcome to the intersection of orthotics and prosthetics in cyberspace!
This Corner begins with an article about transforming office-based care, and continues by highlighting two new prosthetic wrist units and some one-of-a-kind terminal devices. A familiar source for IR thermometers is noted, and the latest in the ongoing troubles of disability insurer UnumProvident are reported. Next month's Corner will include highlights from the Academy meeting in San Diego that has just concluded.

All chapters from the Spanish language textbooks on Lower Limb Prosthetics and Orthotics have been posted, and remain available for downloading, along with the classic text from UCLA on Upper Limb Prostheses.

Thanks to the generosity of Sr. Alberto Castillo from Mexico City, the articles in this Corner will now be available in Spanish too. A brief biography is posted, listing just a few of Sr. Castillo's many accomplishments. Additional chapters from the texts on lower limb prosthetics and orthotics that have been translated into Spanish are also available for downloading.

Re: Bibliografía sobre Lesiones de Rodilla.
Thank you for this inquiry. The medical literature contains literally hundreds of articles about the use of knee orthoses, but none are really comprehensive. Each article provides a small bit of information about a few aspects of KOs, oft... read more

Destroying old patient records
Hi John- Have you written on topic of destroying past patient records in the past? Can I search for this article on O&P.com? I have heard that we should destroy old records that we aren't required to keep as they could possibly be us... read more

Re: Destroying old patient records
Thanks for the question, Randy. This is an area where the legal experts apparently disagree, so I'm sure someone will challenge whatever you decide. The preponderance of opinion from several medical lawyers I have talked with is that accu... read more
