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.
I mean you don’t HAVE to be able to get a prosthesis. If you wanna rock a battle stump you’re welcome to?
Wait… Do you need to cut limbs 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
