Post-Operative Management
RIGID DRESSING:
Typically made from synthetic casting materials and extends above the knee. Worn for approximately one week before a new dressing is applied.
SEMI-RIGID DRESSING:
This is a custom made device that extends above the knee and is made of a semi-flexible plastic. Composed of two parts, a front piece that overlaps the back piece and is held in place with Velcro straps
Immediate Post-Operative Prosthesis (IPOP) is similar to the rigid dressing, but has a pylon and foot attached to allow limited touch down weight bearing. Both are applied immediately following the amputation while still in the operating room.
