This is 25 years old energetic Mr. Mohammad Rauf. He lost his part or leg (below ankle) on the bomb blast while he was on his trip. He was brought to the hospital where the amputation was done at level of middle one third level, to prevent from further complications.After couple of month he came to the PRSP for prosthesis. He was sponsored by ICRC.
On examination, stump was not well prepared for prosthesis. Wound scar was not properly healed, stump was swollen and 15 degree hip flexion contracture ( correctable) .The patient was advised for pre-prosthetic treatment for month.
The patient noticed after a month. On assessment it was found that stump was well prepared for prosthesis fitting. Polypropylene Endo-skeletal trans tibial prosthesis ( Rt) with PTB SC SP socket design and SC suspension were prescribed to him. Further procedure were proceed accordingly.
The patient was already using his own made appliance( made of polythene pipe) which was
bio -mechanically not proper. But it made him easy to use new appliance easily. After 3 days of gait training he walked nicely without any complain, although it was first prosthesis for him.
