Hudson JR(1), Yu GV, Marzano R, Vincent AL. Author information: (1)St Vincent Charity Hospital, 2351 E 22nd St, Room 312-C, Cleveland, OH 44115, USA. Amputation at the level of the ankle joint is a valuable but underused procedure for a variety of conditions affecting the foot and ankle. The procedure provides a comfortable and durable stump that allows the lower-extremity amputee to function with minimal disability. This article reviews the indications for Syme's amputation, provides a detailed surgical description of the procedure, and discusses postoperative prosthetic considerations. In addition, three case reports are presented in which Syme's procedure was successfully used as an alternative to higher-level amputation. DOI: 10.7547/87507315-92-4-232
