Types of Amputations

Trauma related amputations are performed as a means of pain control or to remove a limb that has been partially severed or otherwise horribly damaged. Another type of traumatic amputation may result from a limb being abruptly severed at the scene of an accident. Serious motorcycle accidents can often result in a traumatic amputation due to the lack of protection for the rider.
A surgical amputation is a preventive measure used to control disease processes such as:

• Gangrene
• Diabetic infections
• Cancerous bones
• Cancerous tissues

In these cases, the doctor chooses to perform an amputation in order to save the healthy portion of the limb and to stop disease or infection from spreading.
