TRANS TIBIAL
What is a Trans-Tibial Amputation?
A trans-tibial amputation is a type of lower-limb amputation that involves removing the lower part of the tibia (shinbone) and the surrounding soft tissues. This type of amputation can be caused by various factors, such as trauma, infection, or disease.

Types of Trans-Tibial Prosthetics
At Palmetto Orthotics and Prosthetics, we offer a range of trans-tibial prosthetic solutions, including:
- Traditional socket-type prosthetics: These prosthetics involve a socket that is attached directly to the residual limb.
- Vacuum-assisted suspension (VAS) prosthetics: These prosthetics use suction to secure the socket to the residual limb, providing a more comfortable and secure fit.
- Microprocessor-controlled prosthetics: These advanced prosthetics use microprocessors to control the movement of the prosthetic limb, allowing for more precise control and natural movement.
