I know this sounds like a silly question. But.........I have spoken with
several prosthetist and (of course) several different responses.

1) When do you use a preparatory prosthesis?

2) Do you feel that all the add on codes should be used with a preparatory,
i.e., ultra light, alignable, flexfoot, carbon, acrylic, etc.

Thanks in advance to all that respond.

Pete, C.P.
