- Hi Guys!
Over the years I have tried several different prosthetic sockets. The socket fit is the most important component of the prosthesis. Here is a video-review of my favourites. Please comment on what you think of different prosthetic sockets.

My husband is a recent ak amputee. We have been looking into osseointegration because the socket is so painful for him. Thank you for your wisdom and advice. We appreciate all you share. Your English is great. You are a blessing to those of us seeking real information from someone who knows both.
Hi and thank you so much for your comment. It is comments like this that really makes me continue whit the channel.
If you are looking into osseointegration pleas also see these 2 videos: th-cam.com/video/72krEAv0J5I/w-d-xo.html

If you are interested in my point of view of different amputee issues pleas feel free to comment them to me.
All the best
Im a CPO imo osseointegration has loads of downsides also it's not suitable for an active patient cuz can lead to fracture in the near future due to the amount of weight transferred directly towards the femur.
I’m so glad you have profiled the ossur direct cast AK socket, ossur have done a fantastic job creating this AK version. It looks really comfortable especially for sitting. Would be great to see how you get on with it longer term. 🤗
Keep the videos coming man..you don't who you can inspire!!
Thanks Mac
I enjoy listening to you, because you speak good English.
Thanks, that's nice to hear :)
Just wondered if you or anyone else commenting has experienced an issue with the rubber sleeve coming away from the direct socket? I’ve had issue with this due to the resin lip area which hold the sleeve in place crumbling away and breaking off in shards . I’ve been told this shouldn’t happen period. But it has and I kinda feel I’m being blamed. Given I’ve done nothing but put it on and take it off - exactly as shown by the Ossur tech, I’m confident in saying it’s down to either materials or manufacture.
Hi! You do nothing wrong. This happens to me as well so now days I need a new socker every year due to that and volume change. But since the process is so quick, I find that okay :)

Hi thanks for replying. That’s crazy because they tried to tell me yesterday this was something that Ossur hadn’t seen before and tried to blame me for not using it or donning correctly!! 🤬
I have an even bigger problem now !
I went to have a new socket made yesterday and it has been made at least 2 inches shorter and it is so tight I cant get my stump to go past my valve button. Walking in it is almost impossible as the socket only goes approx half way up my stump as I’m not getting all the way into it. So it feels like it kind of dangling there insecurely. I’m literally at my wits end with it as I go on holiday in a week too.
Think it’s time for me to start getting mad. Ha
Never stop uploading videos brother ur videos are amazing! & also never stop smilling u look beautiful 👌
Thanks man :)
Dear Sir,
You did not recommend as double amputee that your which socket is conformable because I got like your second one with bag you pulled up.
mine is like this with liner but still pinch me?
Hi, maybe your socket needs some adjustments to fit perfectly?
I really want the prosthetic leg that you are using ... my left leg is broken off half of the thigh, it's really tasty, look at it, you're using a fake leg ... how do you get it?
Nice.. Your socket is profi.. Im in France Paris but the prothesist from here is a joke in comparison with your socket.. My socket is heavy, thick..no way. But is good to see other for future. Tnx bro
veri epic
Thanks man ;)
justo lo que yo nesecito soy liciado espetaculsr si nesecito la aplicacion
Buena suerte con la prueba de su prótesis.
Do you hang over on the inner thigh? Any loose skin on the inside of your thigh?
Yes I use a Liner on the inside :)
@@ChristofferLindheTripleAmputee I need more information on the liner. I'm getting a new inner liner made because I had a pressure sore develop last week. 😔
I need artificial leg please contact me
I like to listen to you cuz you basically tell it the way it is God bless you son
Thank you
Is the direct socket more comfortable all around than the subischial socket? I go to get a direct socket tomorrow 10.6.22. OI is what I'd like to get. I'm a LAKA.
Hi Karen!
Has your socket work out well?
I think the direct socket is more comfortable especially when sitting down. And I have good support when walking. But I needed some different socket trials before I got it to work :)
@@ChristofferLindheTripleAmputee not at all. It's comfortable when I first put it on but it's so high on the groin even after cutting it down and it's not even touching the groin anymore (I have a rare skin disorder that's contributing to this discomfort). Sitting is extremely uncomfortable and I lose suction every time and my back and hip hurt when I go to get up. I lose suction often and the liner slides (again I think the texture of my skin contributes to this as well. As a life long BK this wasn't a problem but being an AKA is a huge problem). Blistering is a big problem. Again the skin does this easy anyway so the socket makes it worse.
I went in to get a direct socket made and at the time it was being made it felt like the liner had slid down some during the process but since it was my first experience I wasn't sure on what I should feel so when they tried it on me after it was made, I couldn't get down in it all the way. I came back a week later in case it was from swelling and still couldn't get down in it. Sitting was way more comfortable but the stability wasn't there and I wouldn't trust it to not lose suction. I suspect this is largely due to not being down in it all the way. I would put my thumb in the side and completely loose suction.
It looked like when she made it she made it harder on herself than it had to be. She didn't use a donning tube to get the silicone on so it was much harder for her. I think they are going to attempt another one, but I'm also trying to get OI approved which I think would resolve a lot of these issues.
I think you're good doing good with the conical shaped prosthetic I have the same problem except from I was 350 lb now I'm 240 lb my leg is shaped funny and how to lose some weight I'm not too far from having to have surgery on my leg what's either put on weight to keep the leg working right or lose weight and have to have surgery😢
great presentation Christoffer......sockets are like shoes.....not to tight or loose ....blisters are a serious issue......thanks :)
Thanks DL Brittain
I tried the liner, but I found it uncomfortable. It was tight on my sciatic nerve. I also sweat in the silicon liner. I am currently using a suction socket with a soft bottom. I'm a through the knee.
That's great and if it's working good stay whit it. It's no need to change a winning concept
For anyone reading this that’s curious I too have the ossur direct fit socket and it’s amazing. I’ve tried basically all the ones he has as well and none come close.
did you have problems with your other sockets where you'd get super uncomfortable pressure points on your limb? i need a new option
@@alexward8596 I had every problem you can think of, pressure points, blisters, skin breakdown everything when I had traditionally made sockets. I’ve had my direct fit for two years and work full time in construction and literally the day I got it all those problems disappeared.
@@Halfstep2024 goddamn say no more! I work on cars for a living with my above knee situation and i have these nice sockets made that uses electronic vacuum pumps but it's just so fucking uncomfortable after about 5 or so hours. God bless your response time, take care.
I go in tomorrow 10.6.22 to have a direct socket made. I'm currently in a subischial with a suction and I hate it. It's uncomfortable, I can only wear it a few hours at a time and it takes forever to get it on because of the liner, making sure I have a suction which I lose often. I have a rare skin disorder that blisters easy and and this makes it worse. Sitting in it is difficult at best. I lose suction every time I sit and to top it off the liner slides down. I'm really hoping the direct socket will make a difference.
Is a liner and ring required with this?
You have many knees, can you donate me any of the Microprocessor knee. I am a AK BK amputee. I need one microprocessor knee
I had many knees just for testing, now I only have the Geniums so unfortunately, I can’t help you
again, thankyou so much ^.^
Love the content! Keep doing what you do. The best
Thanks Zuperduperboi2 :)
@@ChristofferLindheTripleAmputee how much 1 leg cost?
Hi Rakib Khan ! It depends on the knee joint they can be very expensive and I’m not sure in how much but it’s a lot
@@ChristofferLindheTripleAmputee how much one leg cost you? Actually i feel really sad to see you like this...i wish you get all happiness of life
good lak
What I often tell people is a socket without a liner is like a Porsche and a socket with a liner is a Lincoln town car with springs. 😀 I came across this looking for the new sockets that are held on with air pumps. Thank you
Thank you and great comparison :)
Thank you for you motivation
Excellent video, thank you very much. Greetings from Chile
Thank you very much :)
:)
please how can i get this prosthetic materialand how much is it?
You need to speak with your prostatitis (CPO) regarding that
Hi Christoffer thanks a lot for the presentation. My question is that is the upper part of the prothesis adjustable or is it possible to get one?
Hi Alan! No the upper part (Socket) is not adjustable. It is molded on my leg to fit perfectly but after that it is fixed
@@ChristofferLindheTripleAmputee ok thanks a lot
This was so helpful thank you
I'm glad to hear that and thank you
Great video, thank you!
Thank you
good bro
Waww👌👍

Hi! I'm sorry I don’t know the price because it's all governmentally paid in Sweden
How much?
Hi thanks for sharing, what is the nane third socket you are using , which part you are using strength? I am above knee one leg amputee for 8 years now, I want to change my socket also , thinking of MAS socket , but I am also really interested with your third socket . Can you give me more information, thanks
Hi Patigul! The third socket is caled DS-socket or The Direct Socket. It is Össur that has developed it.
