A fixation assembly for quick-connect adjustable attachment of a prosthetic leg to an external ring fixator for immediate post-amputee ambulation. The device is configured for use with an existing external fixation assembly attached to a femur or tibia, and an existing prosthetic leg and foot combination of choice. The assembly generally includes an articulating fixator adjustably-attached to a monolithic support block by locking-ball-joint struts, and quick-connect pins insertable through the fixator and into receptacles on the locking-ball-joint struts for releasable attachment. The monolithic support block is a unitary block configured as a mounting base for mounting the prosthetic leg/foot support to its underside, and upwardly configured for weight-bearing attachment of the locking-ball-joint struts. The quick-connect pins allow releasable mounting to the existing external ring fixator.
An apparatus for attachment of a prosthetic leg to an external fixation assembly, comprising:
An apparatus for attachment of a prosthetic leg to an external fixation assembly, comprising:
A monolithic support block for attachment of a prosthesis, comprising a base having an underside configured for connection of said prosthesis and an upside formed with at least one outwardly-exposed face with at least one receptacle formed therein for providing a weight-bearing support surface for a strut inserted into said receptacle.
