Osteomyoplastic Transtibial Amputation
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2016Amputation may be required for management of lower extremity trauma and medical conditions, such as neoplasm, infection, and vascular compromise. The Ertl technique, an osteomyoplastic procedure for transtibial amputation, can be used to create a highly functional residual limb.

Modeling a transtibial prosthesis
2011 IEEE International Symposium on IT in Medicine and Education, 2011This article describes both the modeling of a transtibial prosthesis and its corresponding simulated response to static load using the commercial software package called “SolidWorks”. The simulation was conducted based on the finite element method. The prosthesis model implemented represents an 80Kgf-1.70m individual with a generic prescription.

Extended Posterior Flap for Transtibial Amputation
Orthopedics, 2005This article presents a modified posterior flap technique for transtibial amputation, which includes a thick posterior fascio-myocutaneous flap at least 5 cm longer than the traditional flap, two separate layers of fascia! closure, and proximal translation of the suture line.

Checklist for evaluating a transtibial prosthesis
Foot and Ankle Clinics, 2001A thorough initial evaluation and ongoing follow-up are critical to an amputee's success with his or her prosthesis. A checklist is presented as a guide for the rehabilitation team to perform a clinical evaluation of a transtibial prosthesis. This evaluation is a tool to standardize the assessment process and to improve patient care.

Control of the Residual Tibia in Transtibial Amputation
Foot & Ankle International, 1996Eight transtibial amputees had localized unremitting discomfort and pain in the distal anterior residual limb during prosthetic wear while weightbearing. Modification of the prosthetic socket did not change this pain. It was not consistent with “phantom limb” or causalgia/reflex sympathetic dystrophy-type etiologies.

PCL Transtibial Tunnel Reconstruction
Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review, 2019The keys to successful posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction are to identify and treat all pathology, use strong graft material, accurately place tunnels in anatomic insertion sites, minimize graft bending, mechanical graft tensioning, secure graft fixation, and the appropriate postoperative rehabilitation program.

Socket Considerations for the Patient With a Transtibial Amputation
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1999This paper reviews the theory of transtibial prosthetic socket designs from a historic perspective to the present. The patella tendon bearing socket originated in 1959, and is the standard from which the new alternative socket designs have evolved. Although the patella tendon bearing socket is still the most commonly prescribed socket for a transtibial

Development of a simulated transtibial amputee model
2019 IEEE International Conference on Autonomous Robot Systems and Competitions (ICARSC), 2019Currently, there are more than 30 million amputees in the world and each year thousands of people suffer from amputation and, therefore, the development of lower limb prostheses is crucial to improve the quality of millions of people's lives by restoring their mobility.

Myoelectric Walking Mode Classification for Transtibial Amputees
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2013Myoelectric control algorithms have the potential to detect an amputee's motion intent and allow the prosthetic to adapt to changes in walking mode. The development of a myoelectric walking mode classifier for transtibial amputees is outlined. Myoelectric signals from four muscles (tibialis anterior, medial gastrocnemius (MG), vastus lateralis, and ...
