Immediate post-surgical prosthetic fitting is a procedure to apply a temporary prosthesis immediately after amputation.According to Dr. Weiss's methods with a little modification we have treated 7 patients. Postoperative schedule was planned as following; Standing was allowed at 1st post-operative day, gait traing started at 2nd day, stump molding was made at 14th day, temporary prosthesis with permanent stump sockt was applied at 21st day, and patients were discharged with permanent prosthesis after complete gait training after 1 month post-operatively.
