Hello,
Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern
I went through your query, and I feel, you should know that this type of patient requires a thorough examination of the limb to see what is not and what is left, to give any type of treatment plan, so getting a thorough assessment will definitively help, in this regard and that will help us formulate a plan to make life easier for your friend.
I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.
Thanks.
