Prosthetic restoration in congenital lower limb deficiency. A case study.

Abstract

We presented a synopsis of a young girl with congenitally deficient limb who underwent seven corrective surgical procedures and fabrication of a specially designed and constructed prosthesis. The surgical procedures are detailed as in the total rehabilitation approach. We have provided plastic laminated orthoses and prostheses to many patients with congenitally deficient upper and lower limbs. An additional paper will detail our experience with a series of plastic laminated orthoses and prostheses in patients with congentally deficient upper and lower extremities.
