Patent ID: 8882851

Claim:
A modular prosthetic force distribution boot comprising: a subperiosteal strut having a proximal end and a distal end, where proximal end receives a residual bone end in an amputated limb, such that at least the residual bone end abuts the subperiosteal strut: a hydraulic dashpot comprising, a strut receiver that can be removably attached to the distal end of the subperiosteal strut to allow for alteration or replacement of the hydraulic dashpot; and a bladder fixedly attached to the strut receiver and having a portion of the bladder located distally to the strut receiver, wherein the force distribution boot is implantable within a residual amputated limb, such that forces exerted on or about the terminal end of the amputated limb are absorbed by and distributed internally by the portion of the bladder.
