Amputations - Loss of Upper and/or Lower Limbs

Losing a limb due to the negligence of another is a traumatic experience with lasting impact. Gibby and his team help victims seek justice and recover the compensation they need for medical care, prosthetics, and quality of life.

TYPES OF LOSS:

An amputation is considered complete if the body part is totally severed. The body part may be reattached, especially if proper care of the detached limb is taken. A partial amputation means there remains a soft tissue connection. However, just because the body part is not completely severed does not mean that it will be able to be reattached. The severity of the injury will determine if reattachment is a possibility. A major amputation refers to the removal of an entire limb or perhaps, the leg below the knee. Minor amputations involve only a part of the limb or, for example, one finger on the hand or a toe on the foot.

AMPUTATIONS AND LOSS OF LIMB INVOLVE LONG TERM CARE AND SUPPORT

In addition to the trauma of losing a limb, there are many complications associated with this type of injury. Excessive bleeding, shock and infection are serious concerns. The care and management as well as rehabilitation are crucial. There have been many new developments in this area of medicine, including new surgical techniques and new prosthetic designs. A better understanding of the care and management required for amputees has also improved their long term outcome. However, there are still areas which need real improvement like the success rate of replantation surgeries and advances in the area of complete nerve regeneration.

Amputation certainly involves long term care, and the expenses surrounding that care will quickly add up.
