Amputation can be the result of a car accident, bicycle accident, boating accident, bus accident, and truck accident. Recovery for an amputation injury will depend on the insurance invoved.
Traumatic and Surgical Amputation
There are two types of amputation: traumatic and surgical. Traumatic amputation is the direct result of a personal injury and is part of the accident itself. Surgical amputation is the type of amputation that is required to save the life of the person injured – nerves are damaged beyond repair, there is loss of blood supply, or severe bone damage.
Amputation Complications and Risks
Amputation injuries and prosthetics pose many risks associated with medical side effects and other amputation complications including:
- Chronic Neuroma (pain and/or tenderness in the amputation area)Contracture (a fixed deformity at the joint)Deep Venous ThrombosisGangrene (tissue death)Hematoma (a bleeding blood vessel)InfectionNecrosis (death of the skin flaps)Phantom Sensations
- Stiffness
