We have a 10 year old patient who has a chopart amputation with a bony
prominence at the distal aspect of his residuum. The residuum also
presents with several invaginations. We have tried several silicone
feet, although continue to have problems. The patient is very active
and utilizes his prosthesis daily. We need a silicone foot that is soft
enough to prevent skin break down but durable enough for an active 10
year old. Any suggestions?



Thanks in advance,
