Welcome to the intersection of orthotics and prosthetics in cyberspace!
This Corner begins with an editorial on recent changes in the prescription drug industry that may have P&O implications, and presents a fabrication variation that makes donning a transfemoral prosthesis with roll-on suspension easier for the amputee.

All chapters from the Spanish language textbooks on Lower Limb Prosthetics and Orthotics have been posted, and remain available for downloading, along with the classic text from UCLA on Upper Limb Prostheses.

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.
