Abstract: An orthotic device includes a composite strut, a footplate removeably attached to a lower end of the strut, an upper tibial cuff removeably attached to an upper end of the strut and a lower tibial cuff removeably attached to a central portion of said strut. The footplate, upper tibial cuff and lower tibial cuff are formed of a composite material, preferably a carbon fiber composite. Each of the footplate, upper tibial cuff and lower tibial cuff include a support structure molded into the component with threaded holes therein. The upper and lower end of the strut may also include mounting holes therein for bolting the upper tibial cuff and footplate thereto. Mounting structure may also include mounting plates positioned on the rear surface of the strut and one or more tapered wedges mounted between the mounting structure on a rear of the strut, said tapered wedges allowing an angled orientation of the footplate and cuffs in relationship to the surface of the strut to which it is attached.
