Most Common Causes Of Amputations
There is a range of reasons why amputations may be necessary, however, the most common causes include:
Road Traffic Accidents: Motoring Accidents can cause injuries leading to amputations. In more severe cases, amputations might be essential and lifesaving after a road traffic accident.
Workplace Accidents: Accidents can be common in workplaces. Some individuals attend jobs that risk their health daily. If accidents in workplaces occur; in worst instances, amputations can occur. However, it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure the safety of their staff, and accidents usually occur from negligent health and safety procedures in the workplace.
Medical Amputations: Sometimes amputations can be lifesaving, however, they can also be a cause of medical negligence. If a medical professional fails to diagnose and treat an illness on time, it can lead to complications leading to necessary amputations. Or if a medical professional fails to treat an illness accordingly and treats it negligently, it can lead to infections leading to amputations.
