Common Types Of Amputation Injuries
An amputation can happen at the accident scene (traumatic amputation) or later in the hospital (surgical amputation). Traumatic amputations leave the limb completely severed at the accident scene. On the other hand, surgical amputations are carried out if doctors determine the tissues are damaged beyond repair.
According to the National Institutes of Health, lower limb amputations are more common because legs are more vulnerable to high-energy impact. However, both lower and upper limb amputation cause lifetime challenges. For instance, lower-limb amputations affect mobility, while upper-limb amputations affect fine motor skills.
