Photo below demonstrates the still common socket design with a very narrow pressure area between the front and back walls. This provides a firm lock to hold the stump off the bottom of the socket by overloading the soft tissues in these areas (upper part of the front wall). This area contains several major blood vessels and nerve pathways that we do not want to overload. These sockets are difficult to control because there is no correct position of th femur (large bone in the leg).

Hip Disarticulation Prosthetics hip-disarticulation-prosthetic hip-disarticulation-prosthetic The amputation level hip disarticulation and hemipelvectomy with the loss of the whole leg or even part of the hip joints, is the highest degree of amputation of the lower limb. To restore the patient’s ability to stand and enable him to walk around unhindered at home and with unlimited walking and mobility outside. The development of the hip joint in functional combination with the ESSA carbon system represent an innovative milestone in the provision of care for these users. With every step this complex his disarticulation assembly stores sufficient energy to assist the rollover phase physiologically. Polycentric hip joint makes it more stable in 4 bar Mechanical Hip Joint. Light in weight. Maximum load capacity of 120 Kgs.
