Modified Syme

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Context:

  • Syme's amputation offers an end-bearing stump.
  • Heel pad defects often necessitate below-knee amputation.
  • Assessing alternative flap coverage for weight-bearing stumps is crucial.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of atypical cutaneous flaps in creating a weight-bearing stump for modified Syme's amputations.
  • To determine if this technique can prevent transtibial amputation in patients with heel pad issues.

Summary:

  • Thirteen patients with heel pad ulcers/tumors underwent modified Syme's amputation using dorsal foot or medial flaps.
  • Eleven patients achieved a functional, weight-bearing stump suitable for Syme's prosthesis.
  • Two patients required transtibial amputation.

Impact:

  • Modified Syme's amputation with atypical flaps can successfully create a weight-bearing stump.
  • This technique offers a viable alternative to transtibial amputation, preserving function and improving cosmetic outcomes.
