Comment on It's not that bad quit whining
Rooster326@programming.dev 1 week agoDo you need to cut hands a certain way to get prosthetics?
That is news to me.
Totally they were custom to every stump - which explained why I heard they are so expensive

They are still custom because people aren’t all exactly the same shape and size even before amputations. That said though I presume you don’t want small pieces of bones or like partial smaller bones beneath a prosthesis. Like it makes sense to keep fingers on a hand. But if it’s just an arm then wrist bones that doesn’t seem ideal. I’m not a doctor. But it seems to me if you have a choice how a limb is severed there’s probably a “best” way to do it.
