A 47-year-old male suffered a traumatic transtibial
amputation; initial limb use was unsuccessful and the short tibial length was
thought to be the cause of failure. METHODS: The patient
underwent gradual tibia lengthening using the Ilizarov technique and utilised a
weight-bearing prosthesis to expedite bone growth and repair. FINDINGS AND OUTCOMES: The patient is now able to use his prosthesis successfully without
aids. CONCLUSION: This case study demonstrates that combining a scientifically
based surgical technique with a tailored rehabilitation approach had an improved
outcome for the patient. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study reports one case where
tibial lengthening using the Ilizarov technique combined with a collaborative
team approach has enabled a patient to return to successful prosthetic limb use.
