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.

Above-the-Knee Prosthetics

Solid Ankle Cushion Heel (SACH)

Solid ankle cushion heel prosthetics (SACH) are designed to be lightweight yet functional. They are a basic prosthetic option for those looking to participate in light activities and don’t require a ton of different terrain or speeds to operate on a daily basis.

Knee Disarticulation

The elastic (flexible) keel foot allows for a similar motion to SACH devices. One minor difference is that the forefront is able to conform to uneven terrain yet is still supportive and stable during basic movements and operations such as standing and walking.

Below-the-Knee Prosthetics

Single Axis

The single-axis prosthetic foot contains bumpers that help control the flexion of the ankle, allowing the forefront of the foot to quickly contact the ground after a heel strike.

Symes Prosthetics

Mutli-axial prosthetic feet are made up of many components at the ankle to help maximize the range of motion in the foot. Any multiaxial foot will conform to many different uneven surfaces and have the ability to move from one side to another.

Hip Prosthetics

Prosthetic feet that store energy throughout each step through the deformation of their carbon structures are referred to as dynamic response feet. At the end of each step, these structures return to their original shape and help to return the stored energy.

Foot, Partial Foot & Fingers Prosthetics

This foot type is a combination of the multiaxial system and dynamic response system, meaning patients will get the full range of motion in the ankle. If you consider yourself to be an extremely active person, this is a suitable prosthetic for you.

Foot, Partial Foot & Fingers Prosthetics

The ROM is designed to mimic the natural range of ankle movements. It has a natural motion that adjusts to slopes, sitting with flat feet, and various heel heights. It is highly adjustable and customizable, suitable for someone who is active.

Foot, Partial Foot & Fingers Prosthetics

Micro-compressor feet includes electronic foot and ankle units that use AI to determine the user’s natural walking pattern. Through this technology, the micro-compressor will adjust the ankle position through the right amount of flexion through self-calibration.

What Can Cause Foot or Toe Amputation?

The need for a prosthetic foot or a prosthetic toe can stem from a multitude of reasons. Common examples include the development of diabetes or other similar vascular/circulatory conditions, trauma, tumors including cancerous tumors, or congenital abnormalities that impact the front of the foot.

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
