Partial foot amputation

Dear Colleagues,
Any comments regarding the following I am sharing with you for someone
without access to this List.
Al Pike, CP
All the toes are amputated, and the amputation goes at an angle to his heel.
He is facing possible further amputation because of the angle being hard to
fit prostheses. It is also causing him pain and back problems.
He is almost 40 years old. The amputation was caused by trauma (accident).
It is emotionally hard for him to think about taking off more of his foot.
Would that be the best thing? Does he have other options?
