Abstract
No surgeon who may be called upon to amputate a limb can afford to disregard the problem of fitting a prosthetic appliance to the resulting stump. Mr. Muirhead Little has recorded his conclusions, based on a wide experience in fitting artificial limbs, and his book will undoubtedly take its place as a standard work of reference on the subject in English surgical literature.
