I realize you can't make a definitive, informed comment not knowing all the particulars of this case. But my question is this: is it easier to fit a prosthesis and learn to walk with the the three outer toes left and the incision on the diagonal from mid toes to mid foot removing great toe and second toe or to cut the toes off completely leaving a straight surface about 1/2 way down the foot? thank you so much for your time.
