Sixty-eight patients with Syme amputations resulting from industrial injuries were reviewed. The amount of end-weight-bearing was measured with a capacitance transducer. The majority of patients required fitting with a prosthesis designed to relieve end-weight-bearing. The old-fashioned prosthesis with a leather corset was the most effective in achieving reduction of end-weight-bearing.
