_Wrist Joint Amputations_
These usually leave a stump somewhat larger at the end than immediately
above (see No. 318, page 64), thus providing a means of securely applying
the arm and keeping it in place without the necessity of attachment above
the elbow, as shown in No. 319.
Attachments above the elbow may, however, be put on if thought best, and
for amputation at or a short distance above the wrist it is preferable
to make the connection at the elbow with leather straps, as shown in No.
320, rather than with steel joints.
The socket of any arm for amputation between wrist and elbow will be made
to lace if desired.
