Ancient Egyptian Prosthetic Toe
*********************************
A recently discovered Egyptian mummy included a big toe that may have been amputated and replaced with a functioning prosthesis. “… in other mummies, replacement toes, forearms and other parts appear to have been added after death, probably to prepare the mummies for the afterlife. But in the newly discovered mummy, a layer of tissue, including skin had grown over the site of the amputation … This suggest that the toe was amputated when the mummified woman was still alive. The three-part wooden prosthesis was shaped like a big toe, including the toenail, but the device was not only aesthetic, but also functional, according to (Dr.Andreas G.)

bears about 40%of the weight.”“Mummy with Wooden Toe Uncovered,” The Lancet 2000; 356: 2176-2179)
