From Day One – Walking Life Together

One of the greatest joys of my work is building lifelong relationships, and Stefan Broodryk is exactly that! I’ve known Stefan since his primary school days, and what a journey it’s been.

Stefan was born with PFFD (Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency) – a rare congenital condition that results in a significantly shortened femur and complex limb structure. His residual limb presents unique challenges, but Stefan knows exactly what he wants and needs in a prosthesis, and he’s never shy to tell me!

He doesn’t use silicone liners or suction systems. Instead, we go for a custom PE Lite liner with targeted build-ups to ensure a smooth, easy slide into the socket – perfectly shaped for both comfort and control.

Working with Stefan keeps me sharp; his high standards and clear feedback push me to constantly improve and innovate.

Thank you, Stefan, for your unwavering loyalty and for always trusting me with your prosthetic care. It’s a privilege and a pleasure to walk this journey with you!
