Construction of a customized pylon: simple, quick, and functional.

Assessing a patient's potential for ambulation is often beneficial before prescribing a definitive prosthesis. This assessment is particularly important with the multiply involved patient whose residual limb—because of scarring, decreased sensation, and compromised vascularity—may not be adequate for weight bearing. A means of allowing trial weight bearing increases in importance for patients with demonstrated inconsistent motivation. The use of pylons is customary in evaluating such patients.

CONSTRUCTION AND USE 

One patient requiring trial ambulation was a young man who had had a right transmetatarsal amputation and left below-the-knee amputation following a motor vehicle accident. His left knee range of motion was limited to from 70 degrees of flexion to 90 degrees of flexion. Commercially produced bent-knee pylons are unavailable.…
