Hip Disarticulation

Chad Marquis

I have a HD that I will be seeing in the next couple of weeks. I have

done around 5 in the past and

I have an idea of what to expect, however I am interested to hear from

those who have seen many or

more importantly, what may work best for a patient, new componenets, and

techniques.

Patient Info: 36 y.o. male 5’11” 190lbs

Date of amputation 1974 due to osteosarcoma.

Has used current prosthesis for over 9 years.

Uses axilla crutches for daily ambulation, sits

for a majority of the day due to occupation.

Patient desires a functional prosthesis, but has

more emphasis on comfort and cosmetics.

Current Prosthesis: Endoskeletal – modular hip joint with adj.

assist (Otto Bock) – single axis stance control knee (Otto Bock) –

Seattle LiteFoot

Socket design is a traditional

rigid/flexible lamination (done with feeder tubes) that wraps around to

the

contralateral side with illiac crest

suspension and a velcro closure front. Poron padding has been added

to the base of the inner of the socket

for added padding/comfort. Foam cover with nylon coverings.

Thanks,

Chad R. Marquis, CPO
