Özet
A twenty-eight-year-old patient who had a knee disarticulation and used a prosthesis that could bear weight through the stump end is presented. He had cosmetic and soft tissue problems in the stump end. To solve these problems, a 7cm supracondylar shortening osteotomy was performed. The functional and cosmetic results that were obtained from the prosthesis for trans-femoral amputations but which can bear weight through the stump end, fitted 1.5 months after the surgical operation, were evaluated as very good at the end of the 26 months follow-up period.
