previous questions but what are the surgeries that patients expect from a podiatric surgeon? So podiatric surgeons can perform distal amputations of the lesser toes, they can perform a transmetatarsal amputation, they also can perform a more proximal amputation at the midfoot at the talonevichio calcaneo cuboid joint which is a Chopin's amputation. They're not allowed to because of their license progress above the ankle joint and that would then need to go to either the orthopedic surgeon or the vascular surgeon who's proficient at below knee or above knee amputations.
