Amputation

Amputation is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a limb or part of a limb, such as a foot, hand, or finger. It may be necessary due to severe injury, infection, tumors, or circulation problems that make it impossible to save the affected area. The goal of amputation is often to prevent further health complications or improve the patient's quality of life. After an amputation, rehabilitation, including physical therapy and the use of prosthetics, helps individuals adapt to the changes and regain mobility.
