Hello Peers-
Writing to ask what prosthetic hip joints you have used for hip disarticulations. Looking for something light weight for a young lady who weighs maybe 100 lbs. This lady is very functional but trying to keep the weight down, so I don't feel the helix is an option. Don't love the pediatric option unless there is something with <99lb weight limit.
Let me know what you have used successfully.
Thank you
