Suitable conditions for prosthetic

First, the overall condition of the residual limbs should not be too poor, with good skin and soft tissue conditions, normal skin feeling, no deformity, unrestricted joint movement, no neuralgia or phantom limb pain. The residual limbs should also be of enough length

Second, to ensure the effective length of the limb, the stump limb should have reasonable soft tissue at the end. The ends of the stump bones can be moderately trimmed, such as sub-knee amputees, with the fibula shorter than the tibia to avoid excessive pulling force on the skin.

Also, bone repair during surgery with good muscle fixation is the basis. In addition, patients receiving gradual rehabilitation treatment as soon as possible is an important way to achieve residual limb shaping and skin adaptation, which is helpful to lay a foundation for self-care and work in the future.
