  • Title: Rheumatoid nodules on amputation stumps: report of three cases.
    Author: Chalmers IM, Arneja AS.
    Journal: Arch Phys Med Rehabil; 1994 Oct; 75(10):1151-3. PubMed ID: 7944923.
    Abstract:
    We describe three patients, all of them lower limb amputees who also had seropositive, nodular rheumatoid arthritis. In each case, rheumatoid nodules developed on the amputation stump, causing difficulties with prosthesis fit and comfort and impairment of ambulation. Nodules were successfully excised in two cases and the prosthesis modified in the third. The patients were able to resume walking or transferring with their prostheses.
