The amputation apparatus includes a cap having an internal cavity for insertion over the bone and an opposed outwardly extending boss. A plate having an internal cavity is mountable over the outwardly extending boss of the cap. The plate has a radial extent substantially greater than the radial extent of the cap to define an equal weight distribution surface for internal and external forces over the entire bottom surface of the stump.
