There are many different types of amputations.  In the lower extremity, there are foot amputations that involve one or more toes or possibly the entire foot.  Another form of amputation is an ankle disarticulations, which is removal of the entire ankle.  Further amputations may have to be done below the knee, at the knee, or above the knee.  In the worst cases, a doctor may have to remove the entire leg bone, in an operation called a hip disarticulations. Amputation of the upper extremity likewise involves the fingers, hand, wrist, and above and below the elbow.

Amputation injuries often result in a tremendous blood loss and physical trauma. Traumatic amputations often occur as the result of automobile or motorcycle accidents.  They can also result from untreated infection, workplace accidents or other unforeseen incidents.  Individuals who work in construction or with machinery can be at higher risk of serious workplace injury. Accidents with saws or other cutting instruments or from crush injuries involving heavy machinery may require amputation surgery.
Determining the costs associated with an amputation can involve costly surgeries, intensive physical therapy, and medical equipment such as wheelchairs or special prostheses (artificial limbs). A prosthesis is expensive and may require replacement as it wears out every few years.
