RESUMEN
This article describes the authors' initial experiences and those of their patients with respect to the ICEROSS system for trans-tibial prostheses. Up to October 1992, 54 patients attending the "Hoensbroeck" Rehabilitation Centre received such a prosthesis. With the aid of patients' records an all-round evaluation has been made. In addition, a survey was undertaken and an examination made amongst the 43 patients who responded to a written request. For 26 patients who were provided with the ICEROSS as a second appliance after having used an older kind of prosthesis a comparison was made with the old system. In general these patients considered the new prosthesis as providing a clear improvement.

This report describes a patient with a single coronary artery system, in whom the right coronary artery originated from the distal left circumflex. A significant stenosis was present just at the take-off of the aberrant right coronary artery. No other associated cardiac anomaly could be demonstrated; the patient was referred for elective bypass surgery.
