To further update the list on the status of the Atlas of Limb Prosthetics
and the Atlas of Orthotics. The American Academy Academy of Orthotists and
Prosthetists (AAOP)has been working closely with AAOS (American Academy of
Orthopaedic Surgeons) on the republication of these texts. Both copyrights
were owned by a private publisher. The Atlas of Limb Prosthetics is no
longer available for purchase, however the copyright has been purchased by
the AAOS and the editorial committee is being formed for the publication of
the 3rd edition. This text should be available in 2002-2003. The AAOP and
the AAOS are currently working in a joint effort with regards to the Atlas
of Orthotics and we hope to make some announcements soon. We will continue
to keep members of the Academy appraised as these things continue to evolve.
Thank you for your patience.

Sincerely,

Gary M. Berke MS,CP,FAAOP

For the past few years I have been the Academy's liaison to the AAOS
O&P,Rehab Committee, which is responsible for Atlas publication. Rest
easy -
they are very much aware of the need for these texts and have just finalized
the plans to update the Atlas of Prosthetics. An editor and committee have
been assigned. Although it will probably take two years to complete - it is
coming.
