title: Amputee stump radiology.
abstract: In patients with stump problems, radiological examination of the stump is desirable. To get a maximum of information, the X-ray technique has to be adapted to the qualities of the stump which are different from the corresponding part of a normal limb. Special techniques permit further diagnosis.
