That’s a wrap for the OPC 2024 National conference in Fredericton, New Brunswick! It’s always a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, learn and share knowledge and experience…all in a beautiful city. Thank you to Fredericton and to all the people who helped make this conference a success! It’s a shame we couldn’t start a new tradition with the awarding of the Jeff Newell Memorial Cup for the winners of our biennial softball game due to weather, but dodgeball proved to be a solid ‘plan b’.

🔍 What's a Chopart Amputation?

It's an amputation through the transverse tarsal joint (first described by Francois Chopart). This procedure preserves the heel (calcaneus and talus) while removing the forefoot and midfoot. This approach preserves the pressure-tolerant heel and allows a person with this level of amputation to bear the majority of their weight on the floor of the prosthetic socket.

Crafted with carbon fiber, this prosthesis offers both strength and a lightweight design. The Chopart amputation level isn’t without its challenges, including maintaining leg-length symmetry, painstaking prosthesis fabrication process and a tendency for the heel (calcaneus) to drift into an equinovarus position due to residual muscle strength imbalances.

If you have any questions on Chopart amputations, feel free to comment or reach out with a DM.
