Foot, Partial Foot, Toe Prosthetics Services in New Mexico
If you’re in need of a prosthetic foot or prosthetic toes, there are many options available to you. Different levels of foot amputation range from simple toe filler to carbon devices that extend up to the knee. The device that you get depends on the size of your residual foot and your individual goals.
Amputation Levels of the Foot
There are different partial foot amputation types each with its own unique design and functionality, including:
Chopart Amputations
These include transtarsal amputations that help to preserve the talus and calcaneus. The Chopart joint is also called the transverse tarsal joint. An amputation at this joint keeps the plantar flexors intact but sacrifices the dorsiflexors.
Lisfranc Amputations
This amputation type occurs when the metatarsals are removed while keeping the dorsiflexor and plantar flexor muscles and their attachments intact.
Transmetatarsal Amputations (TMA)
This type of amputation removes either part or all of the forefoot (including the metatarsal bones) or the five long bones that are located between the toes and the ankles.
Toe Amputations
Usually, the majority of the greater toe or the second toe can be fully or partially removed. When the greater toe is amputated, it causes a loss in the biomechanical function of the foot, meaning balance, propulsion, and gait are impacted.
Prosthetic Foot Types
Over the past decade or so, both technology and research have helped to vastly expand the options that amputees have when it comes to prosthetic foot types. Different models can be used for different activity levels ranging from walking to swimming to skiing. The materials used in these devices range from lightweight plastics, carbon fiber components, and metal alloys.
Similar to the human foot, there are many modern prosthetics that can even store and return energy during activities such as walking. There are other key attributes that include toe and heel springs that allow for a more natural movement.

What Can Cause Foot or Toe Amputation?
How Does a Partial Foot or Toe Amputation Prosthesis Improve Function?
A toe prosthetic or a half-foot prosthetic allows the amputee to remain mobile in instances where short mobility is required. A prosthesis has four main functions:
To ensure comfortable weight bearing
To correct and support the remaining foot’s alignment
To restore the full-length lever arm of the amputated forefoot
To improve the aesthetic of the amputated foot
