The Canadian hip disarticulation prosthesis is a typical hip prosthesis, which was produced in 1954.It is still in use today as prosthetic developers continually improve material, assembly techniques and alignment methods. Later, the prosthesis engineering technician developed bone hip disarticulation prosthesis on its basis, wealso can clearly see the main features of Canadian hip prosthesis. MEDI-REHATEK has learned that the Canadian hip disarticulation prosthesis is an exoskeletal (shell type) hip disarticulation prosthesis , which is made from resin vacuum process. The front and lower part of prosthetic socket is fitted with hip hinge. There are hip extension-assistance elastic belts on the bottom of prosthetic socket.Elastic belt has been extended to the knee, and has limited the role of hip flexion; knee joint is built with shell structure. The main features of the Canadian hip prosthesis are: 1, The stability of the prosthesis can be obtained through the appropriate alignment.The hip is below the front part of the hip axis in order to ensure the safety of normal walking.It will not suddenly have knee flexion; 2,The full contact load-bearing performance of prosthetic socket and the suspension performance of iliac crest are good ; 3, The hip allows the degree of relative movement between socket and thigh is about 15 degrees in order to facilitate hip flexion and leg sway. 4, Through the control belt of hip flexion, the legs were normal angle when the heel touches the ground. It can’t go so far tilt the pelvis backwards; 5, The hip prosthesis has a wide hip rotation axis.There forms a relatively strong link between the prosthetic socket and thigh,which effectively prevents lateral bending.
