Preservation of Residual Foot Length in Partial Foot Amputation: A Biomechanical Analysis

Background: Partial foot amputation may be preferred to more proximal amputation because of the perceived improvement in function associated with preserving foot length and the ankle joint complex, thus enabling normal gait and push-off. Clinically, partial foot amputees display significant wasting...
