Giving Thanks
From All of Us at Davidson Prosthetics & Orthotics


 

Many of us love Thanksgiving because it's a weekend, turkey dinner and most important of all it marks the start of the holiday season but above all, Thanksgiving is about expressing our gratitude towards the people that have helped us in any way. 

With my sincerest thanks,

Printing Feet
Baby Buttercup

From HuffingtonPost online

 

A duck with a backward foot is getting a second chance, thanks to 3D printing technology.

 

Buttercup, born last year in a high school biology lab, has been unable to walk properly after his deformed foot only partially developed. He was just "hobbling around on it," according to the Feathered Angels Waterfowl Sanctuary.

 

The Tennessee-based group's owner, Mike Garey, told CNET, "With his deformed foot, he would have been in pain and had constant cuts and foot infections walking on the side of it even at our sanctuary here."

 

Buttercup the Duck's new foot is printed on a 3D printer and he walks & runs!

Ask the Orthotist
Do you have a question for Mollie?
Q. Mollie, thanks for fitting me with my TLSO. Remind me again how to keep it clean!

A. Your orthosis can be cleaned with a washcloth and mild soapy water. 

Make certain all soap is removed and the orthosis is completely dry before reapplying. Please inspect your orthosis daily for any signs of wear including: cracking, loose parts, or decreased effectiveness of the device and call our office as needed. 

A yearly checkup is recommended so make sure you come in before the end of the year and have us take a look at it!
