Keep moving forward: A new energy returning prosthetic device with low installation height after Syme or Pirogoff amputation.

Mulder IA, Holtslag HR, Beersma LF, Koopman BF.Author information 1MIRA, Institute for Biomedical Technology and Technical Medicine, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands.AbstractBackground: The incidence of foot amputations increased in the Netherlands to 3.3/100,000 people up to 1994. Despite these numbers, only a few basic prosthetic and orthotic devices are available, and all lack functionality to restore ankle and foot mobility. Objectives: The aim of this explorative study was to design and test a unique prosthesis for Syme or Pirogoff amputees with the necessary low installation height but restoring ankle and foot mobility. Study design: A case study was performed. Methods: The new prosthesis was designed and numerically analyzed on aspects concerning strength and deformation. A prototype was tested in a case study to assess the biomechanical behavior of the new foot. As a reference, six Syme/Pirogoff amputees were measured. Additionally, all volunteers filled out a questionnaire to evaluate their prosthetic feet. Results: The self-selected and maximum walking speed of the case subject at 0° and 5° slopes was higher using the new foot (0.36 m/s and 0.53 m/s, respectively) comparing to the Low Rider (Otto Bock HealthCare) (0.31 m/s and 0.31 m/s, respectively). Using the new foot, a more symmetrical walking pattern was achieved. Conclusion: The case study shows that this new prosthetic foot could be an improvement compared to existing prosthetic feet. Clinical relevance Foot amputees with low available installation height still experience daily the inconvenience of missing ankle and foot mobility. Their low velocity and cosmetically poor walking pattern influence on their sound leg and overall walking functionality. A more functional prosthesis would have a great impact on their daily activities.

Modification of the Syme amputation to prevent postoperative heel pad migration.

Bibbo C.Author information Department of Orthopaedics, Marshfield Clinic, Marshfield, WI. Electronic address: bibbo.christopher@marshfieldclinic.org.AbstractThe Syme amputation (ankle disarticulation level amputation) can be a valuable procedure for properly selected patients but might be underused owing to the problem of postoperative migration of the heel pad cushion. The present report presents a modification of the Syme amputation technique to prevent postoperative heel pad migration. The technique was performed in 12 patients, most of whom were male patients with diabetic foot infections. At an average follow-up of 7 years, the soft tissue cushion remained in a stable position, without ulceration. Also, patient satisfaction was high with the Syme level of amputation using the modified technique.

Boyd amputation in adults.

Tosun B, Buluc L, Gok U, Unal C.Author information Kocaeli University School of Medicine, Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Umuttepe Merkez Kampüsü, 41380 Umuttepe, Kocaeli, Turkey. bilgehantosun@yahoo.comAbstractBACKGROUND: Foot ulcerations resulting in amputation are one of the most devastating consequences of diabetes mellitus and peripheral arterial disease. In foot amputations, Boyd amputation has been even less accepted than Syme amputation due to its dependence on calcaneotibial osseous union in adults.
