Filed:

Oct 31, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/702131

Inventors:

Vernon R. Rothschild - Berlin MD
John R. Fox - Trappe MD
Russell J. Rothschild - Chester MD
Kelly Ann Rothschild - Berlin MD

Assignee:

Rothschilds Orthopedics, Inc. - Salisbury MD

International Classification:

A61F 260

US Classification:

29416, 29423, 29460, 623 27, 623 32, 623 33

Abstract:

Improved prosthetic components and a method for assembly therefor are described wherein the prosthesis comprises prefabricated modular components including a socket adapter, shank or pylon, a keel, and a foot. The method for preparation of the improved prosthesis reduces the time required for prosthesis preparation over that of the prior art, and includes the steps of making a cast of the remaining leg stump and forming a socket therefor; placing the socket in an alignment jig; assembling modular pieces including a prefabricated keel, pylon, and socket adapter; attaching the socket adapter to the socket; draping a final coating of copolymer on the prosthesis; and removing the pylon and socket adapter from the interior of the prosthesis.
