AFO-Ground Reaction Repair

The patient's father dropped off a right AFO-GR with SVSP trimlines for repair. The medial screw is backing out. Again, the top section is again wider than the bottom section. I heated the top section in several places and brought it in to match the bottom section. I allowed it to cool for several hours and it remained in place. I trimmed the joint surfaces to make them more congruent. I replaced the screws and Lok-Tited them in place. I tested this several times, and the screw did not back out. The parent will pick up the brace this afternoon.
