Abstract

Abstract: This is a report of a diabetic transtibial amputee with severe pain and ulcer in the antero‐distal of the tibia. A novel prosthetic socket with an antero‐distal silicone wall was designed. The result showed that the patient's satisfaction was increased and the average peak pressure was reduced by using the new socket design. Abstract : Using a TSB socket with antero‐distal silicone wall might be a better option for amputees with loss of soft tissue in bony prominence region in the antero‐distal of the tibia to control pain, increase comfort, and decrease interface pressure distribution compared with a rigid wall socket.
