Cosmetic effect of knee joint in a knee disarticulation prosthesis. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2014;51(10):1545–54. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2014.03.0068 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2014.03.0068JSP Aim – Assess cosmetic effect of knee joint in knee disarticulation (KD) prosthesis by determining extent of thigh lengthening and shank shortening. Relevance – Despite advantages, KDs are rarely performed because of anticipated KD prosthesis fitting problems.

Cosmetic effect of knee joint in a knee disarticulation prosthesis.

Shank shortening: – Varied between 3 and 50 mm. – Polycentric knees Teh Lin Prosthetic & Orthotic Co. Ltd Graph-Lite and Medi KP5 showed least shortening.
