Welcome to the intersection of orthotics and prosthetics in cyberspace!
This month's Corner begins with a reminder that the Atlas of Limb Prosthetics is selling briskly, and a follow-up letter about the Medicare decision to delete the L-Code used for most silicone and polyurethane liners. There is also an article on the current situation with the company formerly known as NovaCare, and on an intriguing Internet venture by a retired judge. Additional chapters from the Spanish language textbooks are also now available for downloading.
Next month's Corner will return to a more clinical focus, with highlights from the Academy meeting in Orlando.
Thanks to the generosity of Sr. Alberto Castillo from Mexico City, the articles in this Corner will now be available in Spanish too. A
brief biography
is posted, listing just a few of Sr. Castillo's many accomplishments. Additional chapters from the texts on lower limb prosthetics and orthotics that have been translated into Spanish are also available for downloading.

This month's Corner includes the next installment of uploads of chapters from the entire Spanish language texts on Lower Limb Orthoses and Lower Limb Prostheses, for downloading or printing.
