Partial Foot Amputation Flashcards
1
Q
Lisfranc
A
- tarsal-metatarsal disarticulation
- most proximal amputation sparing the ankle motion
- reduced pushoff
- RX: AFO w/ toe filler & rocker-bottom sole
2
Q
Chopart
A
- talonavicular and calcaneo-cuboid disarticulation
- high pressures at distal foot
- RX: Prosthosis w/ shoe
3
Q
Boyd
A
- horizontal transcalcaneal
- RX: Prosthosis w/ shoe
4
Q
Syme
A
- ankle disarticulation
- heel pad preservation/full weight bearing allowed
- RX: Prosthesis
5
Q
Syme Advantages
A
- limited distal end weight bearing without px
- self suspension
- increased control of the prosthesis due to RL length
6
Q
Syme Disadvantages
A
- inner partial sleeve may be not able to be used
- leg length discrepancy/compensation
