Abstract

This report describes the treatment of a 44-year-old woman with history of left great toe amputation due to surgical complications from metatarsophalangeal joint fusion procedure. The fabrication of a prosthetic great toe with interchangeable nail that is paintable is described in detail. This prosthetic demonstrates that the clinical and laboratory techniques used in fabrication of traditional maxillofacial prosthetics can be adapted for the fabrication of somatic prosthetics to enhance quality of life.
