Al Rehab Medical Center has extensive experience working with complex cases including hip-disarticulation and trans-pelvectomy amputations, bi-lateral amputees, and those who face unique challenges with their residual limb. The program offers a broad scope of care that helps individuals set and meet goals and ultimately, restores their lifestyles.
Partial amputations of the foot include: toe amputation; mid foot amputation (metatarosphalangeal, transmetatarsal); Lisfranc amputation; and Chopart amputation.
Syme's amputation is an ankle disarticulation (the removal of the foot through the joint) with removal of the malleoli (the two rounded protrusions on either side of the ankle) then forward rotation of the heel pad over the end of the residual tibia.
A below-knee (BK) prosthesis will typically consist of a custom-made socket, a pylon and a foot. Sometimes a suspension sleeve or harness may also be necessary.
An above-knee (AK) prosthesis consists of a custom-made socket combined with a supportive frame, knee unit, pylon, and foot. Sometimes a suspension sleeve or harness may also be necessary.
