Clinical field follow-up of high density polyethylene (HDPE)-Jaipur prosthetic technology for trans-tibial amputees

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the outcome of the application of the High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)-Jaipur prosthetic construction in fitting trans-tibial amputees in a number of projects in the developing world. Projects in Honduras, Uganda and India were visited. Three hundred and twenty (320) patients had been provided with a HDPE-Jaipur prosthesis and of these 172 were seen for a technical and clinical follow-up after a median of 35 months. More than half the amputations were due to trauma, th… Show more

“…The results of this series was slightly poorer than previously reported with Jaipur feet (Jensen et al 2004), but the types of failure were virtually the same. The difference between the MUKTI and NISHA feet with spongy rubber plates for the tarsal and mid-tarsal portion vs. a solid rubber block in the former study made no difference.…”

“…That the durability of the Jaipur feet is much higher than that of the polyurethane feet is beyond doubt (Jensen et al 2006a). The results of this series was slightly poorer than previously reported with Jaipur feet (Jensen et al 2004), but the types of failure were virtually the same. The difference between the MUKTI and NISHA feet with spongy rubber plates for the tarsal and mid-tarsal portion vs. a solid rubber block in the former study made no difference.…”

“…The ICRC polypropylene system for trans-tibial prostheses was reported to be an attractive and durable solution, while two other systems performed unsatisfactorily. [37][38][39][40] TATCOT resin-wood and ICRC polypropylene trans-femoral systems provided what was considered clinically and technically acceptable, while the outcome of another system was unsatisfactory. 41,42 Poor outcomes are attributed to inadequacies in the construction, material and socket fit, and in the training of involved personnel.…”
