TF Prosthesis
First I use 12 mm EVA for distal pad put the
distal pad and check for the correct position then took of stockinet and cut a peace
long than length of plaster model . Then applied baby powder surface of the model
After 3mm PP draping first I Check the measure distal , Proximal , Length , Follow
the measure after I cut PP inside the oven I wait 15 or 20 minute and draping the
seam is at the posterior - medial corner just below the IT seat . The seam is need to
be bend under the seat to provide a reinforcement . The posterior medial corner is
placing downward for the seam start to close the seam from distally and moving up
cut the seam about 1.5 cm from the cast and bend it under the IT seat leave the
distal edge of the PP on the cast about 5-8cm for removing the socket with the cast
remover .
Use cast cutter cut the draped cast about
1.5cm above the trim line After removed the cast from the socket use jigsaw to trim
around the trim line and smooth the trim line in the machine room . Cut away the
tail of the socket and smooth the end of it , make sure not to break the seam while
grinding . Make a hole about 2.5-3cm diameter at the distal anterio medial corner
of the socket for pulling the sock in fitting .
Measure the total height of all the components
below the knee from the knee axis and compare with the measurement chart . If
adjustment of the height is needed the adjustment can be done by adjusting the
length of the pipe . Make sure the cut end of the pipe is staingth . Then connecting
all the below knee part together follow the TF alignment procedure . After
connecting the below knee part , place the above knee components part together
with socket and measure the height of the total length of the prosthesis from the IT
seat . The height can be adjust by changing the height of the conical cup . After
adjusting the height connect the socket and the cup together by soldering iron
follow the socket angle in the chart and base on bench alignment . Minimize the gap
between the socket and the cup by grinding the inner edge of the conical cup follow
the shape of the end of the socket . After every thing in the correct position use the
heat gun and welding rod to connect to part together . The initial welding need to
be at least 3 round . And make sure there is no gap between the socket and the cup
after welding . After welding put connect all the part together follow the TF bench
alignment procedure . When connect the conical cup with the socket the opening of
the cup need to place at the anterior side . The after drew a mid line on the socket
using bodycaliper at Lateral side used gonior meter for drew a line 5 degree angle
anterior from the mid line in lateral side For the flexion according to the assessment
. Drew a line 0 drgree angle lateral from the mid line in Posterior side for the
abduction according to the assessment . In foot marked a point of 1/3 from Heel to
toe of the foot and marked a point midline of the heel and lateral of the mid line
using Body caliper .
 Lateral attachment : 5mm posterior and 5mm
proximal to the apex of greater trochanter . Anterior attachment : mid of the M-L
diameter at the level of IT seat .
