Q

17
Q

What is surgical removal of the foot at the ankle joint with removal of the malleoli?

A

Syme’s

18
Q

What is amputation through the talnavicular and calcaneocuboid joints. The ampulation preserves the plantarflexors, but sacrifices the dorsiflexors often resulting in an equinus contracture?

A

Transverse Tarsal

19
Q

What is the surgical removal of the metatarsals. The amputation preserves the dorsiflexors and plantarflexors?

A

Tarsometatarsal (Lisfranc)

20
Q

What are the 4 types of of post-operative dressings?

A
  1. Rigid (plaster of paris)
  2. Non-weight bearing rigid removable limb protectors
  3. Semi-Rigid (unna paste, air splint)
  4. Soft (ace warp, shrinker)
21
Q

- Not eligible for prosthesis

22
Q

K1 ability, knee unit, foot/ankle assembly

A

-Transfers, ambulate on level surfaces, fixed cadence, limited or unlimited household ambulator
Knee: single axis or constant friction mechanism
Foot/ankle: SACH, single axis

23
Q

K2 ability, knee unit, foot/ankle assembly

A

-Traverse low-level barriers: curbs, stairs, uneven surfaces, limited community ambulator
Knee: polycentric, constant friction mechanism
Ankle: Flexible-keel foot, multi-axial foot/ankle

24
Q

K3 ability, knee unit, foot/ankle assembly

A

-Variable cadence ambulator, unlimited community ambulator, traverse most environmental barriers, prosthetic use beyond simple locomotion
Knee: hydraulic/pnuematic, microprocessor, variable friction mechanism
Foot: energy storing, dynamic response foot, multi-axial foot/ankle

25
Q

K4 ability, knee unit, foot/ankle assembly

A

-Exceeds basic ambulation skills, exhibits high impact stress, or energy levels, typical of child, athlete, or active adult
Knee: any system
Ankle: any system
