Sometimes, the effects of a serious accident<\/a> can lead to an amputation injury. The loss of a limb can result from industrial accidents, motor vehicle accidents<\/a>, and failed attempts to save a limb during surgery. These losses can be physically debilitating, emotionally devastating, and psychologically damaging for victims and families alike. With the amputation of an extremity, you may realize you have trouble performing familiar tasks. Every day routines may suddenly become difficult, and you might be unable to work for some time. Amputees require specialised treatment to address the medical complications and physical limitations that can arise from the loss of an extremity.<\/p>\n Losing a limb is a life-altering hardship that can be very difficult to come to terms with.

Amputations generally fall in two types of categories: major amputations and minor amputations.<\/p>\n Major amputations include:<\/p>\n Minor amputations include:<\/p>\n Amputations frequently result from severe injuries to limbs or situations where efforts to save a limb fail. Amputations from sudden traumatic events such as car accidents can even result in extensive blood loss causing death. When death is avoided, losses of limbs and other amputations can result in substantial limitations.<\/p>\n Probably as a result of a neural map emanating from the brain, over half of amputees experience the sensation of a phantom limb: feeling a limb that no longer exists. These phantom limbs can cause pain, burning, itch and other negative sensations.<\/p>\n People with missing limbs can also experience heterotopic ossification, where the brain causes the bone to grow instead of forming scar tissue. Heterotopic ossification frequently interferes with prosthetics and can require additional surgeries.<\/p>\n There is an array of life-long issues that amputation injury victims may have to contend with. These obstacles range from medical concerns to emotional difficulties, and might include:<\/p>\n While you may experience an emotional burden and limited functionality, the use of prosthetic limbs and regular physical therapy can offset some debilitation. Additionally, if the loss of your limb was due to the negligence of another party, you could receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, present and future earnings, loss of quality of life, cost of future care, and your pain and suffering.<\/p>\n learn what Challenges you might face after an amputation<\/a><\/p>\n Although the trauma of losing a limb can be overwhelming, support is available for you and your family.
