Abstract
This contribution presents the case histories of two patients who underwent limb amputation. One patient suffered from psoriasis prior to the surgery and the second developed psoriatic lesions post surgery. Both patients were provided with a prosthesis and despite the multiple cutaneous complications of the psoriasis both patients ambulate. It was expected that Koebner's phenomenon would create hardships but to date this has not happened.
