What Is Amputation?
Amputation is the surgical excision of a body portion or limb, frequently as a result of an illness, infection, or injury. The amputation of fingers, toes, arms, legs, or other extremities may be partial or total. Amputations are carried out to either save the patient’s life or stop the disease from spreading. The loss of a limb or body part is a permanent disability that can affect nearly every aspect of your life.
What Causes Amputation?
Amputation can result from a wide range of circumstances, such as serious accidents, including car and truck crashes or heavy machinery incidents. Workplace illnesses, such as severe infections or vascular diseases, can also necessitate amputation to prevent further complications.
