A new radiological technique in evaluation of prosthetic fitting.
Xeroradiography is an excellent technique in evaluating the fit of extremity prostheses. Because of its inherent characteristics, xeroradiography can clearly demonstrate the stump-socket relationship. Consequently, the degree of contact achieved and attendant pressure problems, if any, can be precisely determined.
