Cosmetic prosthesis for traumatic defect of the leg
Abstract:
The procedure described above requires two clinic visits: the initial visit for measuring and casting; the second visit for fitting, additional contouring, if necessary, and delivering the prosthesis to the patient. This prosthesis fits into the defect and is kept in place by wearing a support sock. There is minimal chance of slipping since it conforms to the defect and is also extremely light-weight. The prosthesis is confortable and allows the child to sit, kneel, and run without difficulty.
