An unofficial blog about the National Museum of Health and Medicine (nee the Army Medical Museum) in Silver Spring, MD. Visit for news about the museum, new projects, musing on the history of medicine and neat pictures.
A dozen photos of arm and leg prosthetics being created have just been posted to our Flickr account. These are some of those behind-the-scenes images I really like. We probably have all seen finished products, but don't usually see how they're made.

It's funny just how little the process has changed! Those pics show the same methods that are still in use.
Thanks for leaving your comment. I wasn't sure how much had changed but found the process in these pictures pretty interesting.
