Leg prosthesis
09839536 · 2017-12-12 · ·

A leg prosthesis wherein the prosthesis shaft and the transtibial part are connected by a prosthesis shaft adapter. The prosthesis shaft adapter is constructed as a compact one-part component with a liner (sleeve as inner prosthesis shaft adapter) of the amputation stump and with a rearward extension for the prosthesis receptacle connection. The prosthesis shaft adapter is designed such that, in addition to the rearward extension of 1 cm to 10 cm, the prosthesis receptacle connection is also angled and laterally offset. Advantageously, the leg prosthesis according to the invention has a relatively low weight due to the prosthesis shaft adapter as a connecting element. The leg prosthesis operates absolutely safely and can be efficiently produced. The fabrication of a leg prosthesis with an individual biomechanical fit to the patient is significantly facilitated, which also results in fewer faulty prostheses.

Modular prosthetic abutment system

An abutment system for operatively coupling an implant stem to an exo-prosthesis. The abutment system includes a plurality of interlocking sleeve elements that are operatively coupled to an implant stem positioned within a prepared site of a selected bone. The interlocking sleeve elements of the abutment system are selectively removable and replaceable.

Adaptor for mounting a prosthesis

The present invention relates to an adaptor for mounting a prosthesis to a prosthetic pin that protrudes from a user's body. The adaptor comprises a male part coupled to a prosthetic pin, a female part coupled to the prosthesis and to the male part, and a locking ring for locking a rotation of the male part relative to the female part. According to the invention, the female part further comprises an at least partially resilient bush arranged in the female part that is configured to expand in a radial direction when the bush is compressed in an axial direction to lock a rotation of the male part relative to the female part.
