He said it was a very specialized router. It cuts a hole in just the right spot that is just the right size. The entire hip unit is modular. The big pin down inside the leg is hammered into place, and 5 or 6 different parts are custom assembled to match the angle and size of my leg. Apparently he has a table of parts that he measures what needs to align to make my leg the same length as the other leg. No standard off the shelf one size fits all stuff.
