Abstract: An ankle and foot orthosis of an integrated flexible yielding material to provide active or passive influence of foot and ankle position by direct adjustable elastomeric overlying strap. The orthosis extends over the lower limb having multiple strap attachment and tensioning points therealong with or without a non-yielding buildup extending heel and sole portion on which multiple strap fixation repositionable points are transversely positioned in spaced parallel, horizontal and diagonal orientation to one another and method of manufacturing the ankle and foot orthosis.

Abstract: A mold assembly and method of forming a surgical implant from bone cement. The method has the steps of connecting a plurality of mold segments to approximate the size of a patient implant. Each mold segment has an open channel. The method may further include aligning the channels of connected mold segments, positioning a centralizing holder on a reinforcement member, mixing bone cement, pouring at least some bone cement through the channels and into connected mold segments, fitting the reinforcement member into the mold segments, curing the bone cement; and removing the cured surgical implant.
