title: Orthotic and prosthetic devices in partial foot amputations.
abstract: With advanced surgical techniques and orthotic, as well as prosthetic devices, partial foot amputations have become a viable alternative. Orthotics can help restore stability, maintain support, and protect function of the residual limb. The authors discuss orthotic and prosthetic management of patients who have undergone toe amputations; ray amputations; transmetatarsal, Lisfranc-, or Chopart-level amputations.
