Abstract:Objective To compare the temporal-spatial gait analysis between transtibial amputation with tibiofibular bone bridging technique and traditional transtibial amputation.Methods There were 12 patients in bone-bridging group which underwent transtibial amputation with tibiofibular bone bridging technique,and 20 patients in control group which underwent traditional transtibial amputation.From November 2005 to January 2016.In bone-bridging group,the average age was(42.8±10.1)years,and there were 11 male cases and 1 female case.The reason of amputation were trauma in 10 cases,vascular disease in 1 case and malignant tumour in 1 case.There were 8 cases at proximal tibia,and 4 cases in the middle of tibia.There were 7 cases of left side and 5 cases of right.In control group,the average age was(47.3±9.1)and there were 16 cases of male and 6 cases of female.The amputation reason were trauma in 16 cases,vascular disease in 3 cases and malignant tumour in 1 case.There were 12 cases at proximal tibia,and 8 cases in the middle of tibia.There were 13 cases at left side and 7 cases at right.We recorded height,weight,velocity,cadence,stride length,step width,swing phage,single support time,double support time,symmetry,average pressure intensity,maximal pressure intensity.Results There were no significant difference between two groups with regard to sex,age,amputation reason,amputation level,side,weight and height(P>0.05).Between two groups,there were no significant difference with ragard to stride length and step width(F=0.227,P=0.962;F=0.015,P=1.000),but there were significant difference with regard to velocity,cadence,swing phage,single support time,double support time,symmetry,average pressure intensity,maximal pressure intensity(F=4.722,P<0.001;F=1.007,P=0.043;F=2.087,P=0.036;F=2.157,P=0.034;F=5.382,P=0.022;F=3.121,P=0.005;F=2.224,P=0.038).Conclusion Transtibial amputation with tibiofibular bone bridging technique can obtain good temporal-spatial gait analysis data,walking function and gait feature.It is a worth recommending amputation pattern.
