Marty Jannetty’s family issued a statement on his foot amputation: “Marty recently underwent a below‑the‑knee amputation. The photograph currently being shared online is authentic. It is not AI‑generated, altered, or manipulated in any way. It was taken by his wife to document his medical journey. The procedure was performed on April 1, 2026, by Dr. Leland McCluskey, who successfully removed all infected bone. The surgery went as expected, and Marty is now focusing on recovery, pain management, and long‑term healing. We respectfully request privacy during this time as Marty continues his rehabilitation. An additional, more detailed update will be provided when the family is ready. We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who has reached out with genuine concern, compassion, and support. Your kindness has been felt and deeply appreciated.”
