Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The lower limb prosthesis implantation has become a surgical method for lower limb enlarging, but due to movement and gravity, the possibility of tearing and shifting is high, so limb prosthesis implantation requires improvement.
OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze clinical data of cases of lower limb enlargement surgery and butt augmentation.
METHODS: The 39-year-old male patient with left lower limb due to poliomyelitis muscular atrophy was admitted to the hospital for prosthesis implantation. Self-designed anchors with Mitek G Ⅱ suspension prosthesis was implanted for artificial limb muscle enlargement treatment.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Following surgery, asymmetric lower limbs were corrected, and the introduction of suspension anchors ameliorated prosthesis displacement.
