Below Knee Prosthetics

A Below Knee or "BK" prosthesis is made up of a custom-to-cast socket (still the gold standard), a pylon, and a foot. Some form of suspension mechanism is also necessary. New amputees may begin the fitting process at the time of surgery with an immediate post-operative prosthesis or "IPOP". Often a clamshell prosthetic limb splint may be used to control swelling and to prevent knee flexion contractures.
