    I should know this because I have had 2 Spanish speaking foster kids with amputations but the worde does not come to mind. I need to know the word for the residule "stump" after a limb amputation. I am in email correspondence with volunteers in Nicaragua and the US prosthetist wants our contacts to get this measurement: "I need the circumference of his stump 4 cm from the bottom, taken with a seamstress tape measure."
    Suggestions? Thanks,
    Dennis

    the word in Spanish is "muñón".
    Realmente, el destino del mundo depende, en primer lugar, de los estadistas y, en segundo lugar, de los intérpretes.

    Is stump the medical term? Ive never really thought about it before. I´ve never heard anything else either. Just curious.
