The socket surface was coated by a ~ 500 nm C-DLC (carbon ion implantation-diamond like carbon) mixed layer to improve its surface nano hardness and wear resistance.
Most TDR designs utilize bearings that are configured with ball-and-socket surfaces which then articulate with each other to provide motion.
The socket provided a fitting surface for the implant.
Furthermore, ETM remarkably increased the osteoclast number on the bone surface (alveolar socket) (Oc.N/BS) in all drug treatments.
A randomized controlled trial comparing functional outcome and cost efficiency of a total surface-bearing socket versus a conventional patellar tendon-bearing socket in transtibial amputees.
Hachisuka K, Nakamura T, Ohmine S, Shitama H, Shinkoda K. Hygeine problems of residual limb and silicone liners in transtibial amputees wearing the total surface bearing socket.
Many designs require form fitting to a prosthetic socket or a complex surface geometry.
Plastic embedded bone from 8 week-old wild-type and GPRC6A knockout mice were cut and polished, and mounted on aluminum sockets with bone surface facing above, sputter-coated with gold and palladium, and examined with field emission scanning electron microscopy (Philips XL30, FEI Company) equipped with a backscatter electron imaging system.
There are seven types of synovial joints: plane, hinge, pivot, sellar, ellipsoid, spheroidal (ball-and-socket), and bicondylar (two articulating surfaces).
Desk toy: A computer with a camera and projector fits into a light bulb socket, and can make any surface interactive.
Objective: To determine whether washing the residual limb and silicone liner reduces the associated skin problems in transtibial amputees who wear a total surface bearing (TSB) socket.
