. A treatise on artificial limbs with rubber hands and feet ... RK CITY. 335 strongest possible manner the importance of providing every stumpwith an ample flap. We do not wish to be construed as inferring thatthere cannot be too much flap; on the contrary, a redundant ilap isobjectionable, as it is always the cause of much suffering. Soft tissueshanging loosely from the end of a stump cannot be placed under con-trol. Sockets must be fitted so that the soft tissues will be underlateral pressure, otherwise there will be a loss of motion: the bones,being surrounded by soft tissue, will move considerable distancesbefore they can have any effect on the leg. Redundant flaps arealways accompanied with deep fissures and large folds of tissue,where dirt and perspiration collect and cause irritation. Cuts Nos. 1156, 1157, and 1158 represent tibial stumps with redund-ant flaps. Soft tissue hangs below the extremities and flops about inthe sockets, frequently becoming displaced and troublesome. Extended and Ankylosed Stumps.—If there is any indication that.
