Hip Disarticulation/Hemipelvectomy Flashcards
what is lost
all fxns of the foot, ankle and hip joints
what are they deprived of
limb to motor prosthesis
indications
cancer
trauma
surgery
RL/fluid filled sac
will always try to save as much as possible
socket fxn
stabilize RL and internal organs
support BW
suspend the prosthesis
provide rotational stability
support BW –> socket fxn
any remaining bone –> ischial tubs, sacrum, pelvis
glute max
suspend the prosthesis –> socket fxn
over iliac crest
may use a shoulder strap
control the prosthesis –> socket fxn
control of the joints (knee and hip) to flex and extend
provide rotational stability –> socket fxn
movement around RL
socket types
Canadian bucket or ischial containment (total contact)
what does the shape of the socket depend on
shape of RL
types of remaining tissue
reliefs –> canadian bucket
bony prominences that remain
WB –> canadian bucket
ischial tubs and glute max
suspension –> canadian bucket
iliac crest
shoulder strap
can be –> canadian bucket
flexible or rigid
flexible socket –> canadian bucket
1/2 flexible and 1/2 rigid
carbon fiber on ipsilateral side to attach hip joint and support RL
