Prosthetic Management Aer Partial Foot Amputation
Michael P. Dillon, PhD Stefania Fatone, BPO(Hons), PhD
Abstract
Partial foot amputation is becoming more common despite high rates of skin breakdown and the need for subsequent amputation surgery. A wide variety of prosthetic, orthotic, and footwear interventions are available to minimize complications and restore premor­bid mobility and quality of life. As more knowledge is gained on the eectiveness of these interventions, many long-held beliefs are becoming less certain. Further research is needed to determine which interventions are the most eective for a particular patient population.
Keywords: balance; energy expenditure; gait; mobility; partial foot amputation; plantar pressure; prosthesis; quality of life
Introduction
The understanding of partial foot ampu­tation (PFA) and the effects of prosthetic and orthotic intervention have dramat­ically changed during the past decade. Recent research suggests that the inci­dence of PFA increased linearly from 2000 to 2010 and that, if current trends continue, the incidence of PFA will triple during the first half of the 21st century.1 Unfortunately, only a few studies have reported detailed incidence data on PFA, and further work is necessary to build confidence regarding current trends and their generalizability to a global population. that the incidence of transfemoral and transtibial amputation declined during the same time period. incidence of PFA appears to be propor­tional to the decline in transtibial and transfemoral amputations. Although the types of amputation procedures have

fect the toes.

In comparison, there are few ray resections, transmetatarsal, tarsometatarsal (Lisfranc), or transtarsal (Chopart) amputations (Figure 1). The proportion of PFAs affecting only the toes may be surprising to prosthetists and orthotists, who usually treat individ­uals with a more proximal amputation. Most individuals with an amputation affecting only the toes probably receive
follow-up care through a high-risk foot clinic rather than a prosthetic-orthotic center.
Approximately 30% to 50% of pa­tients with a PFA have a complication such as dehiscence, ulceration, or failure of the wound to heal.
16-20
It is difficult to determine the amputation level that is most likely to allow optimal healing, particularly in patients with serious vascular compromise or a complex co­morbidity such as end-stage renal dis­ease, hypertension, or diabetes.
21,22
The longer-term challenges are to manage progressive equinovarus contractures and moderate forefoot plantar pressures that are high compared with the contra­lateral limb or appropriately matched control subjects.
23-29
As a result of such complications, approximately one-third of patients with a PFA require a sec­ondary amputation on the same limb, regardless of the level of the initial

PFA.
Rates of complications are not markedly different in those with di­abetes, which suggests that the presence of advanced systemic disease is not the only influential factor.
17,21,22
A wide variety of prostheses and or­thoses is available to mitigate the risk of complications and restore premorbid function.
33-35
The types of devices have changed little over time and include toe fillers, insoles, silicone cosmetic prostheses, ankle-foot orthoses, and above-ankle prostheses.
Recent research has challenged long­held views about the effectiveness of current prostheses and orthoses.36 For example, a device can be used to restore the effective foot length, but it is unclear whether normalizing gait is important to reestablish the premorbid level of

Emerging research is guiding efforts to understand how prosthetic and orth otic interventions can benefit individuals with a PFA.

These can be categorized as below­ankle or above-ankle interventions. Common below-ankle interventions include toe fillers, insoles, and silicone cosmetic prostheses; above-ankle in­terventions include ankle-foot orthoses and above-ankle prostheses. Their use depends on the amputation level and the treatment objectives. Interventions are chosen to fulfill specific treatment goals, including making standing and walking more comfortable, restoring premorbid mobility, cosmetic restoration, minimiz­ing interface pressures on the distal end of the residuum, preventing equinovar­us contracture, or reducing the risk of ulceration and skin breakdown. Devices can be used in combination to achieve multiple treatment goals. For

prosthesis that encloses the residuum and leg in a solid laminated shell (Fig- ure 4). An individual with a midfoot amputation (a transmetatarsal ampu­tation or ray resection) may receive a variety of interventions, ranging from an insole to a silicone cosmetic pros­thesis or ankle-foot orthosis. The types of interventions provided to individuals with a PFA vary by country and health jurisdiction depending on the stipula­tions of funding bodies, the professional disciplines involved in treatment, and the expertise and experience of the treating clinicians. In Australia, the use of pedorthotics (custom or customized footwear) is less common than in parts of the United States, Japan, and many

Toe Fillers and Insoles
Toe fillers and insoles are commonly used for those with a distal forefoot amputation such as a toe amputation, metatarsophalangeal disarticulation, or ray resection (Figure 3). An individual with a transmetatarsal amputation also may be provided an insole. Toe fillers are used alone or attached to an insole to

fill the cavity in normal-length footwear. Insoles serve as a bed for the residuum and can be designed to maintain align­ment of the residuum and redistribute pressure away from the sensitive dis­tal end to minimize the likelihood of skin breakdown. Toe fillers and insoles are designed to be worn with footwear. Because toe fillers and insoles do not encompass the residuum, they rely on the shoe to maintain their position with respect to the residuum. Extra-depth shoes or low-top boots often are used to accommodate the orthosis and provide adequate suspension.
Toe fillers and insoles often are made from a closed-cell foam, which resists compression and thinning. Materials with different mechanical properties can be incorporated, depending on the defined treatment goals. For example, closed-cell polyethylene foam might be used under the heel and arch to cor­rect foot alignment, with a low-density material used to protect the distal end of the residuum against shear forces. Some toe fillers incorporate vertical cuts through the dorsum (as used in the Shape & Roll prosthetic foot developed by Northwestern University)

during walking. Other devices take the opposite approach and incorporate a carbon-fiber footplate to help prevent buckling of the orthosis across the distal end of the residuum when loaded. Re­search has not established the efficacy of either type of orthosis.
Silicone Cosmetic Prostheses
A silicone cosmetic prosthesis can provide a cosmetically acceptable res­toration of a partially amputated foot, usually when the amputation is at or distal to the midfoot. It is possible to match the skin color, shape, and align­ment of the toes and nails to those of the contralateral limb (Figure 5). The design of the prosthesis depends on characteristics of the residuum. For an individual with a transmetatarsal amputation, the prosthesis might take the form of a slipper socket that en­compasses the entire residuum. A foot with resection of the medial two rays requires a distal opening to allow the lateral toes to protrude through the end of the prosthesis.

Silicone prostheses are made to in­timately fit the residuum; they require the use of a water-based lubricant and a shoehorn for donning. The intimacy of fit provides suction suspension that allows the prosthesis to be worn with open sandals. Although a silicone pros­thesis can be worn without shoes, the usual recommendation is to wear shoes, especially when outdoors, to prolong the life of the prosthesis.
Ankle-Foot Orthoses
An ankle-foot orthosis encompasses all or a part of the foot and extends proxi­mal to the ankle. An ankle-foot orthosis is often provided after a transmetatarsal or tarsometatarsal (Lisfranc) amputa­tion (Figures 2 and 6). Variations in materials, footplate lengths, trim lines, and articulation at the ankle mean that ankle-foot orthoses with a similar ap­pearance can serve quite different me­chanical functions and treatment goals. An ankle-foot orthosis is often used in conjunction with other interventions to

achieve complex treatment goals. For example, an insole that distributes pres­sure away from the sensitive distal end of the residuum can be used in combi­nation with an anterior-shell ankle-foot orthosis to control the progression of the leg over the stance foot (Figure 2).
Above-Ankle Prostheses
An above-ankle prosthesis is usually provided after a proximal forefoot am­putation such as a Chopart amputation. The device typically encloses the resid­uum and leg segments in a rigid socket to eliminate ankle motion (Figure 4). The narrow dimension of the leg just proximal to the ankle and the relatively bulbous distal residuum often necessi­tate a bivalved socket to facilitate don­ning. Other design variations include a medial opening window or a built-up liner. The shape of the residuum and leg make it relatively simple to achieve self-suspension of the prosthesis.
To replace the missing forefoot, a conventional prosthetic forefoot or carbon-fiber footplate usually is bonded to the socket. These carbon-fiber foot­plates are specifically designed for this purpose; that is, they are stiff enough to
support body weight and can be bonded to the socket without failing under the large external moments applied during the late stance phase of walking. The socket can be designed to distribute a portion of body weight away from the residuum and onto the leg, as is often necessary because the residuum has an inadequate surface area for comfortable distribution of interface pressures.
Individuals with a PFA often do not like wearing an above-ankle prosthesis. It is difficult to create a slim, cosmetically acceptable prosthesis that can easily fit into conventional footwear.41 A socket design that eliminates ankle motion may seem counterproductive to retention of the anatomic ankle joint. Prosthetic de­sign variations that allow ankle motion, such as separate foot and leg shells with external ankle joints, allow the range of motion of the anatomic ankle to be preserved.

Effectiveness Research
Increasing interest in the effectiveness of interventions for individuals with a PFA has led to research into the benefits and limitations of the available devices. The research is best characterized as emerg­ing. Most of the studies are small in scale and simply describe what is observed when patients use their own prosthesis or orthosis. The observational studies are an important step toward experi­mental studies designed to compare the effectiveness of different interventions.42 The current evidence on interventions for individuals with a PFA is related to gait, balance, energy expenditure, plan­tar pressure, community mobility, and quality of life.
Gait
Most research into function after PFA has focused on laboratory-based mea­sures of gait. Regardless of the cause of amputation, individuals with a PFA have several well-characterized gait anoma­lies, including a reduced center of pres­sure excursion beneath the residuum,
reduced ankle power on the amputated side, and increased power generation at either or both hips.
37, 38,4 1-5 3
Individ­uals with a PFA secondary to diabetes or peripheral vascular disease walk at approximately two-thirds the speed of their healthy counterparts.
42,48-52
This reduction in walking speed is not ob­served in individuals who had a trau­matic PFA.
38,4 4,53
No marked differences in walking speed have been observed among individuals with a PFA at differ­ent levels or with different prosthetic and orthotic interventions, but these studies were not specifically designed to answer such questions, and further research is needed.
42,44,5 4,55
Retention of the metatarsal heads appears to be essential to the use of the ankle joint and calf musculature to generate ankle power during late
44-47
stance.
If the metatarsal heads are compromised, power generation across the ankle is negligible during gait, re­gardless of the length of the residuum or the type of prosthetic or orthotic in­tervention.
44 ,47,55- 57
Lack of power gener­ation may serve as a useful adaptation to avoid pressure on the distal end of the residuum or to reduce shear forc­es caused by ankle plantar flexor con­traction.44 Increased power generation at either or both hips compensates for the lack of ankle power generation and contributes to a gait pattern similar to that of individuals with a transtibial amputation.
36,42 ,58
Observational studies suggest that below-ankle devices, such as a toe filler, an insole, or a slipper socket, do not nor malize the center of pressure excursion; instead, the center of pressure remains proximal to the end of the residuum until weight is shifted to the unaffected limb at contralateral heel contact.
38,4 4
Devices that extend above the ankle, such as an above-ankle prosthesis or an ankle-foot orthosis designed to restrict dorsiflexion, can normalize the center of pressure excursion.

is believed to require three design fea­tures: a suitably stiff forefoot capable of supporting body mass, a socket or an anterior leg shell capable of comfortably distributing to the leg and remaining foot the interface pressures caused by loading the toe lever, and a relatively stiff connection between the foot and leg segment to moderate the moments caused by loading the toe lever.43 A rigid ankle, a free joint with a dorsiflexion stop, or the type of stiffness inherent in a ToeOFF BlueRocker (Allard) ankle-foot orthosis can be used to normalize the center of pressure excursion.
38,41,42
Balance
Few studies have analyzed balance in individuals with a PFA.
41,5 9
Standing balance was reported to be more com­promised in individuals with a PFA than in those with diabetic neuropathy alone. Balance was compromised to the same extent in individuals with a PFA, transtibial amputation, and diabetic foot ulceration.59 This finding was based on an assessment of anterior-posterior center of pressure excursion and was attributed to loss of ankle control. No changes were observed in mediolateral center of pressure excursion, which is primarily controlled by the hip. Because the risk of falling increases with diabet­ic neuropathy, and more so with PFA, balance training was recommended for individuals with a PFA.59 Only one study has reported on the effect of prosthetic and orthotic interventions on balance; no difference was found in dynamic bal­ance during walking with a below-ankle or an above-ankle device.
41
Energy Expenditure
Classic research found a reduction in oxygen cost with progressively dis­tal levels of amputation.
60,61
It often is assumed that walking with a PFA re quires less energy expenditure than walking with a lower limb amputation performed at a higher level.
17,32,62- 64
The
available evidence does not support this
assumption and instead suggests that energy expenditure is similar in individ uals with a transtibial amputation or a
48,5 4,65
PFA.
This assertion is supported by the observation that, unlike those with a hip disarticulation or a transfemoral amputation, individuals with a trans­tibial amputation or a PFA have a similar gait pattern after the metatarsal heads are compromised.36 Net oxygen cost is likely to be similar in individuals with a transtibial amputation or a PFA if, as is the case in others with a lower limb am­putation, individuals with a PFA modify their walking speed to keep the rate of oxygen uptake within normal limits.
Plantar Pressure Distribution
There is some indirect evidence that devices can redistribute pressure away from the distal end of the residuum to other parts of the foot or leg.
38,42
work suggested that total-contact insoles can reduce plantar pressure in individ­uals with diabetes who have a first ray amputation.66 However, no evidence ex­ists to recommend any particular pres­sure reduction technique for individuals with a PFA.
41,42
This limitation is impor­tant because of the high rate of com­plications in individuals with a PFA.36 No studies have determined whether prosthetic and orthotic interventions are effective in minimizing rates of com­plications, surgical revision, or more proximal amputation. Factors such as systemic health, vascular supply, and diabetes control may be more important for minimizing the risk of complications than the choice of de vices. In the future, it may be possible to design devices that can mitigate the risk of complications.
Community Mobility
The extent to which normalizing gait, balance, energy expenditure, and plan-
-
tar pressure are important to individuals with a PFA remains unclear. Achieving independent community mobility may be more important. Walking speed of­ten is used as a marker of functional

mobility, although it appears to be com-

parable in individuals with different lev­els of PFA or transtibial amputation.36 A study of patients undergoing lower limb amputation secondary to peripheral ar­tery disease or diabetes found that while ambulation improved after surgery, it did not return to premorbid levels after 12 months.
67, 68
This finding was similar in individuals with a PFA or transtibial amputation.
Quality of Life
Because few studies have formally evaluated quality of life, insights into the experience of living with a PFA are limited.
36,69
Many individuals believe that quality of life is improved by PFA compared with transtibial amputation because it is easier and safer to ambulate short distances without using a pros­thesis (as when going to the toilet at
18,20,65
night).
It is not clear whether living without pain or being able to partici­pate in recreational activities has a more profound influence on quality of life than being able to walk short distances without a prosthesis.69 The available descriptive data suggest that quality of life is comparable in individuals with a PFA or a transtibial amputation, and this finding has been corroborated by a com­parison of quality of life in those with vascular disease and a PFA or transtibial amputation.
69-7 2
This research suggested that quality of life is substantially in­fluenced by age, the number of years living with diabetes, and the presence of complications such as retinopathy, but that amputation level does not affect quality of life.
69
Clinical Implications
Many long-held beliefs are being ques­tioned with increasing knowledge of PFA and the influence of prosthetic and orthotic interventions. For example, PFA has long been preferred to a more proximal amputation because it was be­lieved that outcomes were better. The emerging evidence suggests that
20,22,73

467
Section 3: Lower Limb
individuals with a PFA or transtibial amputation have a similar gait pattern, energy expenditure, mobility, and qual­ity of life, but that PFA leads to much higher rates of serious complications, surgical revision, and more proximal secondary amputation.
36,58
Innovative prosthetic and orthotic interventions are needed to improve device effectiveness and address issues important to individuals with a PFA. This is exemplified in a case study of PFA after traumatic injury that sug­gests that the use of a nonarticulated above-ankle prosthesis with vacuum-as­sisted suspension is a viable means of improving comfort, function, and re sidual limb health.
74
Despite increasing understanding of how aspects of gait can be affected by interventions, it is not known wheth­er normalizing gait is important for community mobility, participation in recreational or vocational pursuits, or restoration of premorbid quality of life. Similarly, the ability of prosthetic and orthotic interventions to reduce the high rates of complications and ream­putation is not known. Future research efforts should focus on defining the most important outcomes and the ex­tent to which prosthetic and orthotic interventions are effective in achieving those outcomes. For example, if min­imizing the risk of complications and secondary amputation is found to be of primary importance to individuals living with a PFA, it will be important to determine which devices are effective at accomplishing these treatment goals.
Minimizing the high rates of com­plications and secondary amputation can be considered particularly impor­tant from personal health and economic perspectives. Individuals with a PFA de­scribe a more persistent, pervasive fear of further amputation than those living with more proximal levels of limb loss.75 This experience is believed to contribute to the depression and anxiety reported by individuals with a PFA.75 From an
economic perspective, the burden of PFA is staggering. Approximately 50% of all PFAs do not heal, and efforts to achieve wound healing after a PFA occur over many months, with costs in the United States from $27,000 to $36,000 per person.
17,76,77
In the United States, the total annual cost of wound care after PFA is estimated to exceed $600 million, based on an incidence of 20 per 100,000 individuals and a modest complication rate consistent with the proportion of individuals requiring secondary am­putation.
31,78
If the cost of secondary amputation surgery is included in the estimate, the total annual cost exceeds

$1 billion.

Summary
As more is learned about PFA and the effects of current prosthetic and or thotic interventions, gaps in knowledge are be­ing identified and used to guide addi­tional research. A better understanding of the needs of individuals living with a PFA will lead to innovations and re­search to ensure that interventions ef­fectively meet those needs.
