Introduction: Transtibial amputation represents a definitive treatment of several pathological conditions. Historically, immediate postoperative prosthetic protocols have been developed to improve recovery; however, concerns still limit their widespread application. Materials and Methods: The aim of this article is to present a step-by-step approach to a revised, inexpensive, and easy technique that allows early postoperative prosthetic use and rehabilitation. Results: The technique appears to provide optimal patient care levels at reasonable costs and could be applied also in low-resource settings. Conclusions: Early ambulation allows to avoid postoperative complications (such as thromboembolism, pneumonia, etc.) and facilitates definitive prosthetic substitution and conservation of gait patterns as well as better psychological results. Clinical Relevance: This technique can provide a solution for allowing early ambulation in persons with amputations, facilitating the postoperative management of these patients.
