prosthetic management of partial foot and syme's amputation is a very challenging task. Now a days the availability of advanced technology some how fulfilling the need of the amputee but not the fully.

2. INTRODUCTION
 Foot is a finely tune module having complex
structure & function. It is the base of support,
shock absorber & weight bearing structure for
entire body.
 If the foot get amputed due to some
unavoidable causes it disturb alignment,
support, load bearing structure, cosmesis &
affect the symmetry of the gait.

22. III. TRANSMETATARSAL AMPUTATION
22

23. FUNCTIO NAL CO NSIDERATIO NS AFTER
TRANSMETATARSAL AMPUTATIO N
 Barefoot walking after
transmetatarsal amputation is
impaired because of loss of the
weight-bearing metatarsal heads
and
 Elimination of forefoot pronation
and supination during gait.
 A rigid rocker bottom (RRB) shoe
may help reduce distal pressure
and shear from a flexible-soled
shoe wrapping around the end of
the residual foot.
23

24. PROSTHETIC GOAL
- To provide maximum
Flexibility to simulate
pronation & Supination
- To prevent shoe hyper
extension during push off
- Cosmetic Restoration
MANAGEMENT:-
Shoe with fillar
AFO with fillar
SCM Foot
Insole with fillar

25. IV. TARSOMETATARSAL (LISFRANC)
DISARTICULATION
 This procedure, first described by Lisfranc in
1815.
 Removal of metatarsal bone from the tarso-
metatarsal joint.
25

26.  A portion of the fifth metatarsal base is also retained to
preserve the insertion of the peroneus brevis tendon. To
help maintain a balanced residual foot, in addition to the
peroneus brevis, the insertions of the peroneus longus
and anterior tibial tendons are preserved.

46. SYME’S 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

Clinical challenges:
 Height Adjustment
 End Bulbous Stump
 Donning Doffing

 Provision for Donning
 Distribution & absorption of stress
 Rotational Stability

55. FLEX SYME’S by Ossur
 Extremely low build height with active heel and
alignment options.
 The Flex-Syme’s foot design is based on the
well known Flex-Foot concept - a carbon foot
module connected to an actively deflecting
carbon heel. The improved alignment adapter
now offers angulations and adjustments in ML /
AP planes.

57. LPSYME’S By RSL Steeper
 The Low profile Syme’s accommodates the
build height requirements of patients with
Syme’s amputations.
 The carbon fiber design delivers energy storage-
and-return, smooth and natural rollover, and
durability in a remarkably lightweight design.
 The prosthetic foot incorporates a direct
lamination cup, which keeps the distal mass of
the prosthesis as light as possible, reducing
amputee energy expenditure during the gait
cycle. 2” gap required for fitting.

prosthetic foot suitable for long BK and Syme’s level
amputees.
 The Genesis Low Pro combines the Genesis System
multi-axial technologies with advanced strength carbons
and composites to create a system of optimum comfort
and durability. This system offers the most natural range
of motion at a minimal height.

63. Positioning of the Foot 1C20 Pro Syme’s
 Easy adjustment of the foot in relation to the socket is
possible with the new spherical alignment solution.
 A setting aid facilitates the alignment and determines the
direction of the maximum adjustment range in the
anterior/posterior direction.
 This provides an infinitely variable setting range
beginning with 12° and accommodates different heel
heights.
 A sliding block in the lamination anchor provides
additional movement and allows for the abduction (+6°),
adduction (-6°) and rotation (+/- 30°) of the socket.

68. BIO-MECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF STUMP-SOCKET FORCES DURING THE
STANCE PHASE IN SYME’S PROSTHESIS
68

69.  Analysis of the distribution of contact pressures
between stump and socket at various times
during the stance phase is useful in the design
of a socket that will be comfortable for the
amputee.
 Since pressure distribution varies during each
of the three sub phases-shock absorption, roll-
over, and push-off-each must be analyzed
separately.
ANALYSIS OF STUMP-SOCKET FORCES
DURING THE STANCE PHASE
69

70. ShockAbsorption
 If it be assumed that body weight is supported
at the distal end of the stump, it can be seen
that during the shock-absorption sub phase
the major functional forces between stump
and socket occur in the antero distal and
postero-proximal areas.
70

71.  During roll-over, the need for postero-proximal
pressure decreases, and the contact pressure at
the end of the stump shifts toward the center of
that area. If the force system is to be in
equilibrium, the paths of the forces P, D and F
must intersect at Mand their vectors must form
a closed polygon.
 Use of this principle makes it possible to
estimate the relative magnitudes of the three
force
71

72. Push-Off
 The force system that develops as the Syme’s
amputee rolls over the ball of the foot in the
push-off sub phase.
 At the instant shown, the hip joint is being used
to help flex the knee against the force acting
upward on the ball of the foot.
 Again, the principle of force equilibrium can be
applied to estimate the magnitude of the forces.
 A postero-distal and an antero-proximal contact
force between stump and socket are seen to be
necessary to resist the floor reaction against the
ball of the foot.
72

73. Cont..
 It is essential that the antero-proximal force
against the tibia be kept at as high a level as
possible.
 Shortening of the distance a results in
increased inclination of the line of the postero-
distal contact force and in a transfer of the
force away from areas surgically prepared for
end-bearing.
