Today,Medi-Rehatek will introduce the basic concept and main features of hip disarticulation prosthesis. First, the basic concept of hip disarticulation prosthesis The hip disarticulation prosthesis is also known as a hip prosthesis. Hip disarticulation prosthesisapplies for various types of lower extremity amputation in patients such as hip disarticulation amputation, intertrochanteric amputation, hemi-pelvic resection.Among them, hip prosthesis is installed for the amputees with semi-pelvic resection,that is also known as hemi-pelvic resection artificial limb. At the same time residual limb of thigh is too short, such as amputees on the amputation plane below within 5cm of ischial tuberosity who also applies to hip disarticulation prosthesis. Second, the characteristics of hip disarticulation prosthesis The assembly technique of hip disarticulation prosthesis is complicated.In the past patients with unilateral hip dis-articulation and hemi-pelvic resection were installed with hip prosthesis,whowere often assisted by walking sticks. Now the performance of hip component and knee joint andimproves.Prosthetic assembly process improves constantly. The amputees have appropriate training under the guidance of rehabilitation trainer after assembling modern hip prosthesis.Even the patients with hemi-pelvic resection have prosthesis assembly,who are also fully able to achieve safe, stable walk without bare hands.
