sphere which is held in the mandrel clamp (Fig. 1). The sphere is drilled to receive a standard 7/8-in. pipe inserted in the plaster cast so as to permit universal movement of the cast-socket up on the alignment jig for proper orientation of the socket in space. A polyvinyl chloride (PVC) footplug and a wood base of plywood 1.5 to 2 cm thick is fastened to the foot base of the vertical alignment jig with screws (Fig. 2). The relationship between the socket and the foot is established, using standard procedures which need not be elaborated upon here. Once this relationship has been established, the socket is moved proximally on the vertical bar of the alignment jig, and a PVC tube with two Fig. 1. Spherical insert for use with VFJ-100 fabricating jig.
longitudinal cuts of 15 cm depth at right angles to each other on the proximal end of the tubing is installed on the foot block with a hose clamp (Fig. 3) Before the tubing is cut longitudinally, two holes should be drilled through the tubing at the distal end of each of the planned cuts to prevent Fig 2 A PVC footplug on a plywood base is placed in the alignment jig.
