[Amputation and prosthesis design in severe congenital defects of the lower extremity (case reports)].
- Protetické oddĕlení NsP, Ceské Budĕjovice.
The author presents an account of three patients with severe congenital defects of the lower extremities who relied on a long-term basis on complex prosthetic appliances. In the mentioned patients the author amputated part of the malformed extremity in such a way as to preserve the "plantar" stump and it was thus possible, when solving the technical aspects of the appliance, to improve also the cosmetic covering of the defect.
