Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The surgical considerations in hip disarticulation and prosthetic management with the Canadian-type hip disarticulation prosthesis are discussed. A clinical trial of the diagonal type socket for this amputation has been undertaken, and the results are presented in this paper. It Is believed that the use of this prosthesis represents a further step forward in the management of amputations at this severe level.
