Gday all, I am currently treating a patient for plantarfasciitis and post shin splints but have come across a bit of a concern. The patient has had the majority of his right hallux and all of his 2nd digit removed as a result of severe frostbite following a climb of Mt Everest in 2006. He is what I would class as extremely active, running 12k a day, rock climbing, hiking, mountaineering, and being active is his highest priority. However, I have never encountered a patient this active with digital amputation before. Could any of you enlighten me on any orthosis modifications/additions that may cause further problems with this situation, or anything you may suggest to be beneficial for him.
