I have a new sixty year old left trans- tibial amputee. His residual limb is
six long from MTP. He has a skin graft approx. 5 cm. wide going from the
tibial tuberosity distally around the bottom of the residual limb. It is
adhereing to the bone the total length . There is good tissue on both sides
of the tibia . The appearance is a valley going down the tibia and around
the bottom.

I am looking for suggestions on prosthetic fitting.

Surgery revision may be the final result, but I would like to prevent that
from happening if I can
