patient is sensitive to wool. These materials are of different thicknesses, so minor adjustments to the fit of the socket can be achieved. Socks must be washed carefully, following the written instructions given; and they should be changed regularly to avoid skin problems. Dangers Patients with artificial legs have delayed proprioception and impaired balance. They should therefore be made aware of the danger of tripping over low obstructions, stairs, slopes, and uneven or slippery surfaces. Knee locks, if fitted, should be used in potentially dangerous situations. General points If a leg has been amputated application for the mobility allowance and for a disabled car badge should be considered. It may be necessary to adapt the patient's car. Drivers with artificial limbs should be reminded that the licensing authority must be informed of their condition.

Paget-Schroetter syndrome (PSS) is a rare diagnosis characterized by thrombosis of the axillary-subclavian veins. It can occur from thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) that may result in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or life-threatening complications if left untreated. Sonography is the primary imaging modality used for suspicion of DVT. Other modalities may be used for difficult diagnoses such as PSS where the exact location of venous compromise is important to know for appropriate treatment. This case report details the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of PSS from injuryinduced TOS.
