Welcome to the intersection of orthotics and prosthetics in cyberspace!
This Corner notes, with deep regret, the recent passing of one of the most significant academic leaders in the field, Sidney Fishman PhD. It continues with a short summary of a recent peer-reviewed article on transtibial bone bridge surgery that is similar to the classic Ertl method, and concludes with brief notes on an FM Modulator for MP3 files and a New Orleans jazz CD.
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.

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. CPO Services is very pleased to be able to post electronic versions of texts used in the former WHO school in the Dominican Republic, with the kind permission of Sidney Fishman, PhD.
I hope you have enjoyed some of the information posted in this monthly Corner. Please leave your comments and suggestions for improvements or topics in the
Guest Book

Thank you.
