The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1953
One-hundred and ninety-two children have been studied in a Juvenile Training Program. Of 128 surgical amputations, revision for extensive or poorly placed scar was not necessary. There have been no tenotomies or re-amputations to further mobilize stumps. Bone overgrowth requiring surgical corrections has been encountered in eight cases to date.

During 1978 the Queen Alia Fund registered all disabled persons in the East Bank of Jordan. This paper is intended to investigate the actual condition of a sample selected from those persons registered as amputees. The registration showed a total of 696 amputees and a sample of 100 patients was randomly selected from this group. This study explored the
