A direct socket is a specific way of building prosthetic legs. But it is quite different than the more traditional ways - who does it work for? What are the pros and cons? What about above-knee amputees?
Today I got the chance to sit down with my prosthetist AND paralympic gold medalist Noah Elliott who were both kind enough to answer all my questions for you guys!

MY STORY //
Fourteen years of pain and failed ankle surgeries brought me to 2018, when I made the difficult decision to become a twenty-seven-year-old below-the-knee elective amputee. This channel is to document my journey of amputation surgery, recovery, and reclaiming my life.
MY PROSTHETIC LEG:
I use the Ossur ProFlex XC Torsion foot/ankle with a direct socket with passive vaccum suction.
