What is Joint Prosthesis Surgery?
Therefore, the process should be supervised by an expert physician. Various models are available within the scope of prosthesis surgery and are classified into 5 groups. Single-axis foot relies on an ankle hinge that provides dorsiflexion and plantar flexion. The disadvantages of a single-axis foot are poor cosmetics and low durability. The SACH (solid ankle cushion heel) ankle joint has been standardized according to decades and is suitable for use in patients with low expectations.
Knee Prosthesis
It can lead to excessive loading problems in a non-amputated foot (ending use). Articulated dynamic response feet allow inversion/eversion and rotation of the foot, and are suitable for activities on uneven surfaces. They can absorb the load and reduce scissor-like forces in the residual limb.
Most dynamic response feet have a flexible spine (keel) and are now the new standard for general use. Choosing the right dynamic prosthetic foot requires knowledge about the patient's height, weight, activity level, maintenance approach, cosmetics, and cost. Dynamic response feet can be grouped into short and long-spined jointed and unjointed feet.
