Prosthesis

This video clip is a short segment of a story of a young woman getting a special custom cosmetic cover for her above the knee prosthesis that I directed and produced when I was with Otto Bock Orthopedic USA. I became involved with John Sabolich early on while I was at Otto Bock because of my own work on an AK socket deign and cosmetic finishing technique. The finishing technique has become the industry standard for cosmetic covers getting away from the shoulder butting technique, but it is often bastardized today to cut corners and save money. The video clip is showing the finished technique applied to the prosthesis of the patient who inspired the idea. This video is copyrighted and may not be re-published on the Internet without permission.

As the chief prosthetist with Otto Bock USA I had opportunities to fit some of the latest new components as they became available in the US market. With the 3R21 knee joint I was able to fit one of my former clients from my days with the Winkley Company. In the past I had fit her numerous times with outside knee joints and wooden shin prosthesis. This then is her first cosmetic prosthesis.

"So you've really got two fixations here. You've got the press fit and then you actually have the bone ingrowth into the device to lock it in."" Doctor Thomas P. Sculco, Surgeon-in-Chief at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, speaks about the recovery timetable for most patients. Doctor Sculco also notes how patients usually have a nearly complete recovery, allowing them to return to most pre-surgery activities and sports.

This project was designed by electronic engineering students at the ITESO University in Guadalajara, México. The user can open and close the hand, turn to wrist the right or to the left, and also regulate the pressure applied by the hand when its grabbing an object. The systems brain is a Freescale's QG4 microcontroller (low end, 8 bit, 16 pins, USD$1.05)

"When this is inserted into the bone, bone sees bone, and it grows into the device. And that's how the fixation occurs" Doctor Thomas P. Sculco, Surgeon-in-Chief at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, explains the nature of the hip prosthesis and its materials in this first segment.

http://www.riverside-urology.com Dr. Herbert Riemenschneider - Surgical therapy is considered when the other options are not successful. The most common treatment is to implant a device into the erectile tissue of the penis. This is known as a penile prosthesis. There are two types of penile prosthesis, semi-rigid and inflatable (hydraulic) prosthesis.

In 1983 the AMS Malleable 600 was an advanced rod prosthesis, a surgical treatment for erectile impotence that patients could bend, and surgeons could resize.

"This material wears at-and we've measured it-0.7 of one millimeter in 10 years. So there's enough plastic in there to last 40 or 50 years" Doctor Thomas P. Sculco, Surgeon-in-Chief at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, goes in depth explaining the materials, structure, and function of the hip prosthesis.

The UTAH ARM U3plus - from MOTION CONTROL One Step Closer to Nature Motion Control's U3+ technology takes the microprocessor Utah Arm to the next level. It's unique Blue Tooth wireless computer interface allows the prosthetist or wearer to fine-tune the adjustments to achieve maximum performance without the hassle and tangle of wires. A variety of inputs may be used, so more options are available to more wearers. Meanwhile, the U3+ still delivers the same sensitive, proportional control of elbow, hand and wrist (optional), letting the wearer move the arm and hand slowly or quickly in any position.This provides a more natural response with less effort than the traditional on/off movement. Another element that sets the Utah Arm above the rest is it's simultaneous elbow and hand control. Because the Utah Arm has two microprocessors, two functions can be controlled at once (optionally), thus producing a more natural movement. • Continuous Brake - No Wait Hand Use • BlueTooth Wireless Connection with Hard-Wire Backup • iLimb Hand Compatible - also MCTD's w/Multi-Flex Wrist • Versatile Input Choices - Virtually all electrodes compatible • EMG Preamps using disc or snap-type electrodes • Motion Control Linear Potentiometer • Motion Control Force Sensor • Otto Bock Linear Transducer

The infatable penile prosthesis was one of first surgical impotence treatments, starting in the late 1970's. William L. Furlow, MD, explains the surgical procedure for doctors in this unreleased 1988 video.
