WHAT ARE THE COMMON CAUSES AND COMPLICATIONS OF AMPUTATIONS?

Amputations are some of the most traumatic injuries anyone can face. Losing a limb, digit, or another part of your person from someone’s negligence is overwhelming. Suddenly, your independence is jeopardized or taken away.

Johns Hopkins Medicine categorizes the causes of amputations, citing most occur from occupational or motor vehicle-related accidents:

  • 45% of all limbs lost are the result of traumatic amputations
    • Machinery or heavy equipment accident
    • Car accidents
    • Truck accidents
    • Motorcycle accidents
  • Complications from vascular diseases cause 54% of surgical amputations
  • Severe sepsis or infection
  • Surgical errors

When the body is damaged so severely from injury, infection, or disease that removing a body part becomes necessary, post-operative care is crucial. Several complications can arise, including:

  • Severe swelling and pain
  • Slow healing and recovery
  • Infection
  • Muscle weakness and contractions
  • Joint instability
  • Phantom limb
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
