ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic coupling comprising an annular coupling adapter having a coupling end and an opposed pylon mounting end, the coupling end including a central bore adapted to receive, and be coupled to a prosthetic limb pyramid component, where the pylon mounting end includes a diametrically restrictable tube with at least two circumferential discontinuities and an axial depth with a predetermined extension greater than a minimum depth required to adequately secure a prosthetic limb pylon component therein, where the predetermined extension provides the prosthetic coupling height adjustability with respect to the prosthetic limb pylon to which it is adapted to be secured. Such prosthetic couplings may be supplemented with bushings inserted within the pylon mounting end to inhibit further pylon insertion beyond a desired depth.
