Anatomy of Stumps. 601 



The muscles are all atrophied, but the gastro-cnemius is the 

 least so, and the soleus is next to it. The posterior tibial artery 

 is smaller in proportion than the posterior tibial nerve, which 

 has no bulbous ending. The os calcis has either been at first 

 partly left, or has since been partly re-formed. The bone re- 

 presenting it is separated from the tibia, partly by fibrous 

 tissue, and partly by a false joint. G. C. 2798.

11. 89. Stump after a Syme or Pirogoff's Amputation.— 



Fibula and a small piece of the tibia, with a portion of the 

 bone representing the os calcis, from the previous case — in 

 spirit. 



An atrophied tendo-Achillis is attached to a fragment of 

 the OS calcis, and between this bone and the bones of the leg 

 there is an appearance of cartilage in the newly formed joint.

11. 90. Stump of a Femur a Year after Amputation.— Por- 

 tion of the femur — macerated, illustrating the above. 



The original operation], was performed at the Military Hospital, 

 at Portsea. Whether a secondary amputation was required, or whether 

 the patient died from other causes, is uncertain, but from the appearance 

 of the stump the latter seems more probable. 



The end of the bone is somewhat rounded ofiF, but the 

 extremity has not been covered in. F. P. C. 229. 



11, 91. Stump of a Femur long" after Amputation.— Small 



piece of bone — macerated, illustrating the above. 



The secondary amputation was performed on account of "irritable 

 stump " (i.e. enlargement and painful condition of the ends of the nerves). 



The bone is greatly atrophied, and its extremity rounded
