Patent ID: 7833286

Claim:
A cosmesis for use with a prosthetic knee comprising: a substantially tubular thigh component having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end resembling at least a lower portion of a human thigh, the lower end shaped to receive a proximal segment of an endoskeletal knee chassis, the lower end of the thigh component including thigh component lateral side holes positioned to coincide with an axis of rotation of the endoskeletal knee chassis when received therein; and a substantially tubular shin component having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end shaped to receive a distal segment of the endoskeletal knee chassis, the upper end of the shin component including shin component lateral side holes positioned to coincide with the axis of rotation of the endoskeletal knee chassis when received therein; wherein the thigh component and the shin component are pivotally joined at the thigh component lateral side holes and the shin component lateral side holes such that the thigh component and the shin component are pivotable with respect to one another about the axis of rotation of the endoskeletal knee chassis when the knee chassis is received therein; and wherein the upper end of the thigh component is adapted to be rolled onto itself such that the upper end can be rolled down approximate a location where the upper end of the thigh component joins the lower end of the thigh component, and be thereafter rolled up about at least one of the proximal segment and a residual limb.
