ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic device which is adjustable in the transverse plane includes a flanged element moldable in a plastic socket and an element having a toothed superior surface. The plastic socket is formed about the flanged element while using the toothed superior surface as a mold surface. A fastener engages the toothed superior surface and this affixes the formed socket to the toothed element. The fastener may be loosened so that incremental rotation of the toothed element relative the socket is permitted.
