Injuries with an Amputation Are Life-Changing
An amputation injury can be truly devastating. One minute you are walking or using both arms, and the next minute—after an unexpected and often preventable accident—you have suffered a traumatic limb-loss injury that requires being rushed to the hospital and undergoing emergency surgery. Many injury victims who suffer a traumatic amputation are never able to work again, and many who are eventually capable of going back to work are only able to do so in a limited capacity for the rest of their lives.
What is an Amputation Injury?
Traumatic Amputation Injury
The severity of and recovery from traumatic amputation injuries varies greatly depending upon the site of the injury. In some circumstances, even when there is a complete amputation (a limb or body part has been completely severed from the body), a surgeon may be able to reattach the limb. In other cases, an injury victim might suffer what is known as a partial amputation, which is a situation in which “some soft-tissue connection remains.” Depending upon the specific nature of the injury, a surgeon may be able to reattach the limb. For many injury victims suffering a traumatic amputation; however, the limb cannot be reattached.
There are also serious complications that can result from a traumatic amputation injury. Most often, injury victims may experience:
• Bleeding
• Shock
• Infection
• Slow wound healing
• “Phantom limb” pain

The Impact of Amputation
Amputation can range from the loss of a fingertip to the loss of an arm or a leg. Loss of a limb frequently results in significant blood loss, shock, infection, and even death.
An amputation injury often causes a reaction of grieving or depression in the victim and almost always results in some level of negative emotional impact. We always make sure our clients and their families find the support they need during the challenging period of adjustment or for as long as they need it.
