Joint Function

The basic function of all system ankle joints is to provide motion control. Depending on the used system com-
ponents, they may have the additional functions listed below:

Borggreve Rotationplasty

With the Borggreve rotationplasty, the lower leg and foot are fixed to the thigh ro-
tated by 180°. The ankle joint then assumes the function of the no longer existing
knee (fig. 2).
The NEURO CLASSIC system ankle joint can be used for this special ortho-pros-
thesis technique. For this purpose, a special system stirrup, the Borggreve stirrup, is
used (fig. 3). It was designed in cooperation with the Department of Orthopaedics
of the Heidelberg University.
Functions
dorsal (posterior adjusting screw):
readjustment of the range of motion in
plantar flexion
ventral (anterior adjusting screw):
readjustment of the range of motion in
dorsiflexion
Functions
dorsal:
adjustment of the range of motion in
plantar flexion by filing the system stirrup
along the laser lines
ventral:
adjustment of the range of motion in
dorsiflexion by filing the system stirrup
along the laser lines
