The Amputees and Quality of Life

Collegium antropologicum, 2006
The application of highly sophisticated computer technology and high technology materials allows production of quality prosthetic replacements both in the functional and esthetic sense. The basic prerequisite for successful use of prostheses is an adequately shaped stump, which can be achieved using new operative technique used for extremity amputation.
