In the near future, I will be casting an adult male hip disarticulation amputee for a prosthesis using the Otto Bock method of anterior and posterior blocks/wedges. For those of you who are experienced with this technique, I would appreciate your recommendation for the dimensions of these casting wedges and also your choice of materials for these wedges. Thank you in advance.
