Dear List members





Please enlighten me with your expertise about the below mentioned problems:



An A.K amputee, (40 years, male) is using an Above knee prosthesis with IC
 socket & suction suspension.

Despite making the socket a little bit loose, the problem arises again after
a few days.



Swelling and redness is seen at the distal end in the ring shape. The
amputee uses the trial prosthesis for a few days and later the problem
arises



Kindly suggest the solutions and possible causes of the problem



Highly appreciate your response.
