Hello All,

We have a very active young adult (17 yrs.) male, with an elbow
disarticulation amputation. He has a new prosthesis under construction
which will incorporate outside locking elbow joints. While I am aware of
the joints from Hosmer and Otto Bock for this purpose, I was wondering if
anyone knows of a more cosmetic joint than those which are presently available.

I appreciate any help in this matter. Thank you.
