Moonboots are not benign devices and should be prescribed with the same thought and consideration as you would a medication.

We hear from Mr Peter Black – a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon in Hamilton, NZ, who specialises in the lower limb.  With regard to the Orthopaedic mantra of Movement is Life, he explains how Moonboots can cause significant issues for our patients and how we can go about avoiding these.

Many Thanks to Peter for talking to our podcast.
