Abstract
Orthotic devices are an effective method of treating degenerative arthrosis of the foot and ankle. When combined with appropriate medications and activity modifications, operative intervention may be postponed or rendered unnecessary. A thorough comprehension of relevant anatomy, biomechanics, and available devices is crucial to maximize the benefits of this modality.
