Hi ,

The screw that holds the bar to the curved metal bar. Either the

washer pops off (even when they dent up the end of the screw really

good...I believe they call this pinging it) or the head of the screw

breaks off (this doesn't happen as much).

Thanks,

Do you see Dr. Dobbs at Shriners or at Childrens? I ask because the

brace is different at the two different locations. From what he has

told me, he has been happier with the design of the one they are

making at O & P labs (which is the orthotics shop that serves

Childrens). I don't know about other parents but we have not had any

problems with the brace from Childrens breaking. Dr. Dobbs is at the

Shrine today so if you contact his assistant there: a, her

number is 872-8342 ext. 273 or email him at mattdobbs@...

you can tell him you are unhappy with the brace and how it keeps

breaking and they should be able to get you set up with one of the

braces from Children's. Now, this is assuming that you currently are

in the brace from Shriners. If you already have a brace from

Children's, my next thought would be that they need to use a different

type of screw and washer but from your description I am thinking you

have the Shriner's bar. Let me know...and if you don't get ahold of

them today, I can see what I can find out for you tomorrow.

Thanks,

Hi ,

We see Dr. Dobbs at Children's. I finally got a hold of Dave with

O & P today and he had somebody fix the brace using something new. So

hopefully this will work. I just wish I knew why this kept

happening....what might be doing.

Thanks so much,
