The modular (endoskeletal) design of the lower leg prosthesis consists of: a stump sleeve (with a soft liner and /or with a silicone cover (liner)), a sleeve adapter (support), a carrier module, a clamp sleeve, a foot module, a cosmetic shell and a cosmetic coating.

In turn, the bearing module and the clamping sleeve can be either without or with additional functions of torsion and/or vertical shock absorption. In some designs of clamping bushings, the function of changing the height of the heel can be implemented.

The foot modules are very diverse, both in terms of design, appearance, implemented functions, and in terms of price, which gives a chance to almost completely satisfy the needs of even the most sophisticated patients. Some modules of the foot have the ability to adjust the height of the heel.

The modular (endoskeletal) design of the lower leg prosthesis for bathing and water procedures practically does not differ from the usual modular design of the lower leg prosthesis, except that all metal modules are made of corrosion-resistant alloys and have special grooves for removing liquid trapped inside the prosthesis (mainly fresh and saltwater).

In this type of lower leg prosthesis, bearing modules and clamping bushings with additional functions are rarely used due to the lack of reliable water-resistant analogues.

Immediately after amputation, it is impossible to get a prosthetic, but in each case there should be its own time and its own type of prosthesis.

The first thing after discharge from the hospital and removal of stitches is the healing process.

Secondly, with the permission of the surgeon who is observing the patient, it is necessary to prepare the stump for prosthetics – to bandage it with an elastic bandage. The time of bandaging is about 2-3 weeks, according to the schedule, it may be more, but less is not effective in our opinion.

The next stage of preparation for prosthetics is "acquaintance" with a silicone case. Patients who come to us for prosthetics receive a case, and stay in it from 3 weeks to 2 months. Firstly, it is necessary to detect a reaction to silicone, and secondly, to change (decrease) the size of the stump.

If you make a prosthesis on an unprepared stump, then within a few days of walking on a prosthesis, the stump will get so thin that it will be impossible to walk on a prosthesis and no wool covers will help with this.
