Hip prostheses

Amputation above the knee

Basic information

ORTO-M manufactures modern hip prostheses

Our specialists select the complete set of each prosthesis individually, based on your tasks and features. Our goal is to rehabilitate every patient who came to us.

The design of the lower leg prostheses

The hip prosthesis is modular
Hip prosthesis with microprocessor control (with an external power source.)

The modular (endoskeletal) design of the hip prosthesis for bathing and water procedures practically does not differ from the usual modular design of the hip prosthesis, except that all metal modules are made of corrosion-resistant alloys and have special grooves for removing liquid trapped inside the prosthesis (mainly fresh and salt water).

The hip prosthesis is modular, a skeletonized sleeve, fasteners due to a silicone cover, a knee joint with a microprocessor (with an external energy source), a factory protector, as a cosmetic lining.

The hip prosthesis is modular for bathing, without cosmetic lining.

Components of prostheses

Modern hip prostheses consist of six main elements

01 / 06

The stump sleeve

The main element of any prosthesis. The stump sleeve is made exclusively individually, by making plaster casts from the stump.

02 / 06

The lock

This is connecting element of a silicone case with a stump sleeve. Locks can be pin, rope, vacuum.

03 / 06

Knee module

Selected individually for the physical characteristics of the patient. The knee module can be polycentric and monocentric, hydraulic, pneumatic, with microprocessor control.

04 / 06

The bearing module

This is a steel or titanium pipe connecting the knee module to the foot.

05 / 06

The foot

The type of foot for prostheses is selected individually. Prosthetic feet are available with heel height adjustment, with a split toe part, with a vertical shock absorber, for different levels of patient activity.
