Symes amputation involves the surgical removal of the foot through the ankle joint that preserves the heel pad to allow weight-bearing on the distal end of the stump. This procedure aims to eliminate diseased tissue or non-functional limbs and creates a functional and painless limb for the patient. Unlike individuals with a below-knee amputation, who cannot take even a few steps without an artificial leg and may resort to hopping or crawling, those with a Syme amputation may achieve limited walking without a prosthesis due to the preservation of the heel pad and weight-bearing capacity on the distal tibia of the residual limb. ## Parts of Symes Prosthetics - Integrated Socket-Shank Design - In Symes prosthetics, the socket serves as both the socket and the shank. This design is crucial due to the short distance between the end of the stump and the ground. It typically incorporates a modified foot design to accommodate this configuration effectively. - services-card_260 - _9ba41c8e-53ec-0857-0644-45f2fb90780d - _9ba41c8e-53ec-0857-0644-45f2fb907817 - Socket - Symes prosthetics typically utilize either a plastic socket with an expandable liner or a plastic socket with a medial opening. - services-card_260 - ee7d448f-7b73-a22f-bfc9-fb9fd1e42246 - ee7d448f-7b73-a22f-bfc9-fb9fd1e42250 - Pylon and Foot - In Symes prosthetics, the pylon links the socket to the foot which is crucial for support, alignment, and mobility. - services-card_260 - f3444dc0-1eb3-a367-3acb-b291b947153b - f3444dc0-1eb3-a367-3acb-b291b9471545 - Suspension System & Liner - Various suspension systems are employed in Symes prosthetics to secure the limb to the residual limb, including suction, locking pin, sealing liners, belts, and straps which enhance comfort and stability. - services-card_260 - _5ed912fa-3815-6483-f6a2-ec73e955c0cf - _5ed912fa-3815-6483-f6a2-ec73e955c0d9 - Symes amputation requires specialized prosthetic solutions due to the unique characteristics of the residual limbs.
