Below the knee amputations are the most common amputation surgery in the United States and comprise approximately 23% of all lower limb amputations. Causes for the surgery may include injuries or pain related to trauma, diabetes, cancer, infections, neuroma, congenital limb deficiency, or complex regional pain syndrome.
Once your limb has stabilized from surgery, Allen Orthopedic Labs will fit you with a below the knee (transtibial) prosthesis while considering every aspect of construction and use.
Socket designs vary from PTB and PTS to total surface bearing. Types of suspension can include a cuff, a cuff with a waist belt, knee sleeve suspension, suction, or a liner with a locking pin.
There are also shock pylons with or without rotation and a whole array of prosthetic feet.
