Events And Incidents That Can Result In An Amputation
While anything from a collapsed building to an infected wound can result in an amputation, the most common causes include:
- Cancer: Certain bone and skin cancers can only be treated through amputation if all other attempts to cure it fail.
- Trauma: Limbs seriously injured by burns, accidents, etc. may require amputation to prevent the spread of infection.
- Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): The arteries of people suffering from this disease slowly accumulate fatty deposits that can dangerously restrict the blood flow both from and to their leg muscles. Without timely treatment, the patient could develop critical limb ischemia (CLI) which can cause their skin to appear shiny, smooth, dry, cold and pale. The longer this disease is left untreated, the more likely it is that the patient could suffer from more dangerous ailments like sores, gangrene, atrophied muscles and ulcers that do not heal. If PAD is allowed to progress to its most extreme stages, amputation may be the only treatment that can effectively stop it from spreading further.
- Diabetes: High blood sugar levels, an issue diabetics often face, can cause serious damage to blood vessels and nerves, which can increase the need for an amputation to prevent the damage from spreading to other parts of the body. This damage, also known as peripheral neuropathy, can be treated through proper monitoring and care, but neglect will likely increase the chance of ulcers forming on the affected area and becoming infected.
