Hingeless Artificial Leg Makes Debut For Veterans
Washington reports a new hingeless artificial leg for above knee amputees developed by the Veterans Administration after three years of testing. The suction socket holds the limb, renewed by the weight of the leg when walking. Only amputees with a medical prescription from VA certified surgeons may obtain the new limb, and a list of qualifying surgeons has been distributed to VA offices and centers.
