  • Title: The stump and the prosthesis.
    Author: Day HJ.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 1980 Mar; 62(2):91-4. PubMed ID: 7377694.
    Abstract:
    In performing amputations the surgeon must bear in mind the biomechanical and other constraints of the prosthesis likely to be fitted and, so far as possible, should fashion the stump accordingly. The various types of prosthesis and their features are discussed in relation to amputations of the lower and upper limbs at all levels.
