Modeling and Control of Knee-Ankle-Toe Active Transfemoral Prosthesis
IEEE Access, 2020 The main joints of lower limb are hip, knee, ankle, and toe. Because of accidents or diseases, some people have to amputate. Wearing prosthesis can help them return to normal life.

Treatment of the exposed knee prosthesis [PDF]
Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1987 Ten knees with early tissue breakdown after knee arthroplasty resulting in exposed prostheses were treated with different plastic surgical techniques. Six knees were successfully covered: four using a gastrocnemius musculocutaneous flap, one using a fasciocutaneous flap, and one using split-skin grafts. Four knees failed: two using local skin flaps and
