Stump Support

Supporting stump.

The supporting stump is the stump of the lower limb, which is the result of amputation or other surgical intervention and is suitable for prosthetics. It is a remnant of a limb that cannot perform its functions and requires prosthetics.

Prosthetics are one of the most effective rehabilitation methods for amputees. Prostheses allow them to return to normal life and perform normal activities such as walking, running, working, etc.

Various materials are used to create prostheses, such as metal, plastic, silicone and others. Dentures can come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit each patient's individual needs.

However, when choosing a prosthesis, it is necessary to take into account not only its functionality, but also its aesthetics. Prostheses should be invisible and easy to use so as not to cause discomfort to the patient.

In general, the supporting stump is an important step in the rehabilitation process of patients with lower limb amputations. Prosthetics allows them to return to a full life and improve their quality of life.

Musculoskeletal stump - the stump of the lower limb or parts thereof, suitable for prosthetics, including the foot, lower leg, knee joint and lower thigh, having a cosmetic appearance. The supporting stump is an important stage in restoring movement and freedom of a person after amputation of the lower limb. When prosthetics of the musculoskeletal stump (MSS), as a rule, the method of pin prosthetics is used; for the stump of the upper limb, the finger method with a collet grip is used. If the stump comes from a person over 45 years of age, then initially a rehabilitation (starting) power surgery is proposed to restore the chain of ligamentous fibers between the femur-ankle joint. This will speed up the formation of the functional group of the foot-shin prosthesis of the 3rd stage and will help to begin more active preparation for prosthetics (if the stump is “hard”, has an age-related bias or is shortened). From the initial power operation, a prosthesis is subsequently performed 2-
