  • - The study focuses on a patient who had an above-the-knee amputation, noting that the residual bone length decreased over time after the surgery.
  • - The patient had previously received a total hip replacement, and X-rays showed that the cement from the hip surgery started to protrude due to bone loss one year post-amputation.
  • - While previous research highlighted changes in the bone structure of amputation stumps, this case is unique as it documents significant changes in the actual length of the residual bone.
