  • X-ray. Anteroposterior picture of the proximal and middle parts of the humerus. The amputation stump is healed without recognizable inflammatory changes. Compact bone is thinned, especially in a distal direction and cancellous bone became uniformly thin. This is probably the case of the thinning of bone tissue due a lack of activity.
